It was one of the most difficult decisions that I took, that rainy August afternoon when I walked away, in that big metal beast by the ocean, leaving the only woman I ever really had loved , my daughter . That will always be in my memory as a heartbreaking moment because even today having spent 20 years I don´t forget the deep cry of my baby, while I was walking away of the port of Australia. however those were other times, what else could have done, being the son of a poor farmer, I only was a boy of 21 years old , who had buried his young wife 5 hours before . today however, rich and powerful I still wonder what could be the life of that little angel to leave your fate so long. and is at times that I can feel her laughter, see her face or even feel her perfume of newly born. I felt like a coward for much time thinking that maybe i could have taken care of her, that i could have seen her grow up, but now I Know that this was the best solution, because my life in london never was very happy and I never could have seen her suffer for my bad decisions. and the truth is that many were the suns and rains that passed before I become who I am now, and while I´m walking from my car to my office I still wonder how it would have been the life of my girl, being now the daugther of the ,most important europe´s businessman.
my life has never been easy, I don't know my real name yet and I think that I could be daughter of a psychopath or a simple teacher, but the thing that I know is that I was raised by a pirate, and although it may sound a bit rude insurance is better father than that man which still today I have memories, who left me alone in the world. however, the hatred for that man is no more. I think it faded with time, as my hopes of seeing him again. but that could change at any time, and today I'm going in search of something new and this time I am who leaves the island for find my destination, I am moving today to London to begin my studies in the university.
three more years have passed, three more full years of agony and guilt, 3 years more that I´m pretending to be the right man that everyone sees, it is today when my sweet little would be 23 years together my, and is today, when also I have to speak to an absurd college ceremony and the truth is I do not Know that I will do, when I will see to all these girls, thinking they might be my little sofia.
today make three years since I left home to come to become me a woman, and the truth is that I'm not the same scared little girl and a little wild that came to London in search of his father, today, the day of my birthday number 23, I'm on way to my graduation, feeling a strong acceleration in the chest, as if something tell me that everything could change
the auditorium was full of young faces full of illusion and tears in their eyes, and it was then that I began to give my speech, from my place on the stage could see like all people was hearing me with great interest, until suddenly she came, she was tall, blonde, white as snow and with the as grey eyes as I saw only once time. the time that I let to sofia .
It was very rare, but while that man gave his speech, I could not help feeling that he was watching me , as if I only were talking with me. but then the speech ends ,and I found myself holding my diploma, but was when I was leaving the auditorium that I listened a man shout, (daughter), I turned around and there he was, the same man of the speech, crying and saying "sofia I'm sure that you are my little sweet girl”.
at that time my heart was blinded and I only could run, hug her and say, “It´s ok honey, daddy is here.”
