You tell me...
"I am going...
and this time
it´s the end,
dear...
this time
it´s goodbye...
it´s forever..."
"You loved me..."
...you say...
"like never before...
like never after...
from the first day...
from the first time...
like never before...
like never before...
from always..."
"You arrived,
when I was leaving..."
...you say...
"I would leave,
if you arrived...
if you stayed,
I would go...
so always..."
"If you undressed,
I would dress...
if you kissed me..."
...you say...
"I was like absent...
you got angry...
you hated me...
always..."
"I am going
and this time
it´s the end,
dear..."
...you say...
"this time
it´s goodbye...
...it´s forever..."
"Sorry, my love..."
...I tell you...
"but it´s been so long since...
it´s been so long ago that...
it´s been a while since..."
"That I've never loved you...!"
...you say...
"Sorry...
but that´s not true..."
...I say...
"I´ll never forget you...
I´ll love you forever..."
