Olvidate de Mí

I opened up my whole life
Without asking for security
I shared my problems
As an act of loyalty
I thought trust
Was something we both cared for
But love isn’t enough
When the intention fails
I asked for consistency
You asked for freedom
I talked about us
You talked about possibilities
I stayed when it was uncomfortable
Staying to talk
You left in silence
To avoid taking the blame
Today I understand what I didn’t want to admit
You can’t love halfway
When someone wants to run
Forget about me!

Don’t say my name anymore
Don’t use my memory
To feel more like a man
Forget about me!

Don’t call me when it hurts
I’m not a temporary refuge
When your world shakes
Forget about me!

I’ve learned to let go
And I won’t go back to someone who didn’t appreciate me
It wasn’t just an argument
It was a constant drain
It was feeling like my effort
Had no destination
It was speaking to you with my soul
Hoping for understanding
And getting evasions
Dressed up as reason
I wanted presence
You wanted options
I sought the truth
You wanted negotiation
I got tired of explaining
What was obvious
Who truly loves
Doesn’t just disappear
It hurt to accept it
But that’s how it was
I was with you
You weren’t here
Forget about me!

Don’t say my name anymore
Don’t use my memory
To feel more like a man
Forget about me!

Don’t call me when it hurts
I’m not a temporary refuge
When your world shakes
Forget about me!

I’ve learned to let go
And I won’t go back to someone who didn’t appreciate me
I didn’t leave out of pride
Or fear of feeling
I left because love
Isn’t begging to exist
I left because I understood
After so much insisting
That those who want to stay
Don’t need to run
Forget about me!

I’m not waiting anymore
I don’t live on memories
I don’t keep imagining you
Forget about me!

I closed the open wound
Because self-respect
Also knocks on the door
Forget about me!

This time it’s a choice
I’d rather be with myself
Than beg for your attention
If one day you understand
What you couldn’t give
It’ll be too late, my love
I’m not coming back.
