My Love

It is said that when one truly loves,
one must also suffer.
If that is true,
then the love I feel for you
cannot be false.
I would like to be able to forget you,
and erase you from my memory.
To accomplish that,
I would have to tear out the heart
that in my soul beats only for you!
My entire life,
I will await your return.
It doesn't matter how much time passes,
I will wait for you.
Maybe one day
when time has painted your hair white,
and slowed your step,
you'll think of me.
If you remember how much I promised
to love you and wait for you,
if you feel that
you still love me
look for me.
For here you will find an old man
who although time has stolen his youth
and has put wrinkles on his face
still waits for you,
and still loves you.
Just as much as the day we met.
