Neither freedom nor love ever brought your suffering, yet you chose exile.<br><br>It doesn't matter, for me the moment to return to my origin has come, to reclaim the path that has been waiting for me and not to look back.<br><br>My feet drag, for they won't leave without you. Doesn't matter, if I must leave them, so be it, for if I can't walk beside you, I'll crawl until I reach you.<br><br>My eyes refuse to look at a life without you, doesn't matter, I'll leave them closed so they can dream eternally of your delicate face.<br><br>My hands hang useless by my sides, for they lack the warmth of your touch, doesn't matter, it will be a burden I must carry.<br><br>My heart has stopped beating in a single sigh of longing, doesn't matter, wherever I go, those feelings will be an obstacle to reason.
