DIFFERENTLY CLOSE

We are different and we cannot change.

We care a lot but we cannot love each other.

You want a man who makes you happy

With a dinner at the Bilionaire,

who ask to be forgiven a betrayal

with a bouquet of red roses,

who claims to be near you

with a spa day

to you and a friend of yours,

maybe the same one he cheated on you with.

- Asshole! What would you do for me? -

you ask me.

I could only give you my time.

I would make you happy by cooking

My spaghetti with clams

Sometimes a little salty, sometimes bland,

almost always overcooked.

I would forgive myself by drawing a daisy

On a sheet and I would leave it next to the coffee every morning.

I'd stay close to you when you need:

when you have a fever and, as I hope,

when you give birth to ours

Child.

And while the contractions will tighten you

I would take your hand and beg you

Pardon

As I could not be in your place

to sacrifice myself for ours

Future.
