Una Amistad / A Friendship
By L.V.
Una amistad como la que tú me ofreces
Es difícil de encontrar,
Reconoceré que me gustas
Y me gustaría que tú en mi confiaras.
Tal vez pienses que estoy loco
Pero no dejo de pensar en ti ni un poco
Déjame demostrarte que mis sentimientos son sinceros,
Déjame conocerte ya verás que soy verdadero.
Una amistad como la tuya es con la que yo siempre esperé,
La espera ha terminado
Tú estás de mi lado
Es algo extraño como mis pensamientos son controlados por ti.
A friendship like the one you offer me
Is difficult to find,
I’ll admit that I like you
And I’d like for you to trust me.
Maybe you think I’m crazy
But I don’t stop thinking about you, not even a little
Let me show you that my feelings are sincere,
Let me get to know you and you will see that I’m true.
A friendship like yours is what I’ve always waited for,
The wait has ended
You are at my side
It’s strange how my thoughts are controlled by you.
