The Acquaintance

I don’t know if you remember me,
I know of you.
Pero no te conozco a ti.

I tend to think about you
With hope…
Esa vez que te descubrí,
You convinced me
That there could be a friend
Behind those eyes.

Regretful encounter,
No conoceré a ese amigo.
We won’t travel to each others sides
of the room, of the salón,of the class.
I don’t own any room of your mind,
you settle down in mine.

Es extraño, todo esto.
We’ve never gifted each other a word,
Aunque ha pasado tanto tiempo.
What a strange rule…
I guess it is what it is.
We barely exist.
