I'm sorry I couldn't be what you wished for,
But I promise you, from today, I won’t seek you anymore,
I won’t fall asleep with your name in my thoughts,
Nor wake with it upon my lips.
But I can’t promise I won’t wish to be
Those rings that touch your fingers
Or the flower on your windowsill
That sees your face every day.
Forgive me for hoping you’d cross my path,
For daring to be a god in my dreams,
When really, I was just begging for love.
I won’t believe in fairy tales, I swear it.
Once, we looked at the same sky, it’s true,
But we never shared the same horizon.
