[[Too Bad You Don't Speak Spanish]]

Desde entonces usted sonriera hola, 
desde entonces usted agitara adiós,
no he podido guardar mi mente de usted.
Tengo que admitir,
teníamos muchos de buenas risas
y algunos gritos necesarios.
Teníamos nuestra parte justa de luchas,
pero compusimos siempre.
¿Por qué es éste tan diferente?
Bien, aprendí algo muy especial
durante nuestro tiempo junto:
Cada uno va a lastimarle más pronto o más adelante,
usted apenas tiene que decidir quién vale el dolor.
Usted estaba definitivamente digno de él.
Acabo de intentar conseguir con el dolor.
Comencé a gritar mismo para dormir en la noche;
Es mi arrullo.
No se preocupe de mí, 
Tiempo cura todas las heridas,
o así que me han dicho.
Pero recuerde siempre:
Nunca me olvidaré que usted…

Te amo
Te quiero
  Te necesito
[[Too bad you don't speak Spanish]]

Author notes

lol! you didn't really think I would make you read it just in Spanish did you?

Translation:


Ever since you smiled hello,
Ever since you waved goodbye,
I haven't been able to keep my mind off you.
I have to admit,
We had a lot of good laughs,
And a few necessary cries.
We had our fair share of fights,
But we always made up.
Why is this one so different?
Well, I learned something very special
During our time together:
Everyone is going to hurt you sooner or later,
You just have to decide who is worth the pain.
You were definitely worth it.
I’ve just been trying to get through the pain.
I started crying myself to sleep at night;
It’s my lullaby.
Don’t worry about me,
Time heals all wounds,
Or so I’ve been told.
But always remember:
I’ll never forget you…

I love you
I want you
I need you
[[Too bad you don't speak Spanish]]


The reason this is in spanish, is because she gave it to them in spanish so that they had no clue what she was saying, that way, they wouldn't know what she was really feeling and all the emotional pain it caused her. and i know it sounds like they already broke up, but this is the note she gives him to break up with him because she knows she's not the right one for him even if she loved him.

"How can i stop crying when the only one who can make me stop is the one who made me start."

    Thank you for the translation, while I'm trying to learn spanish I haven't gotten very far with it...

    This is very sad and very deep, I've read a lot of break-up poetry in the last couple days but this is by far one of the better peices. Very well done. Thank you for entering my contest and good luck.

    I loved this poem...cleverly done...and thankyou for
    dearly for the translation.

    it spoke of the reality of love and battles of argument..
    and your author notes shone through heartbreakingly.

    Sometimes, time is needed....so we can long...and
    forgive, and remember past the arguments of friendships
    once shared and enjoyed!
    great write!
    thankyou for your entry!
    loved it!

    "who is worth the pain."
    damn! what a question...
    the entire Spanish thing was brilliant.
    but I'd pick a more elegant language.
    (not racist) just the symbolism of it all.

    I must admit it's a brilliant idea for a poem, with such a unique twist at the end. I'm not sure it's what I was looking for, but all the same, I love the poem itself.

    The end of something once beautiful

    There's such a feeling of loss here, "We had our fair share of fights----Why is this one so different" and "I particularly loved "Everyone is going to hurt you------You were definitely worth it"

    Sweet

    This poem brings back memories that i've forgotten but the other way round of course.
    "You just have to decide who is worth the pain.
    You were definitely worth it
    I’ve just been trying to get through the pain.
    I started crying myself to sleep"

    I like these lines,
    Good Write

    This was awesome

    Thankyou for having both languages it is most appreciated .Yes love of the heart often takes time to heal and we all hold pieces of those we love always . The heart is one also that can find new love when one is lost . It adapts and moves on in time and brings life and joy back to those hurting . You have done very well with this and I hope we can talk often
