y esperar.
Por favor perdona
mi actitud
En caida libre,
no soy libre.
Nubazón, nubazón
pasará.
La hondonada nos dejó
sin caricias
y varias noches sin poder
dormir.
Fatalismo inútil,
ignorar temores.
Me muero por creer
que es posible
Seamos amigos.
O la vida sentirá
aun mas frio
y el fantasma no podrá
dormir.
