El amor que tengo
If a genie came and granted me one wish,
I wouldn’t ask for gold or any of that.
I’d rewind to the past,
and pause time back
when the moments felt like home,
when I was once naive.
If only I had known
that I wasn’t alone.
To go back, I could cry and lie on your shoulder
where you made me feel fine
and know everything was in order.
Maybe if I was older
I could’ve visited you.
If only you knew
how much I love you.
When I returned home
I saw on the bus the food that you made
with all your heart.
You knew what I loved.
Sadly I didn’t eat it
due to the lack of time I had.
The food you poured love into — I couldn’t eat.
Maybe if I go back
I’ll eat it right up.
But not just you I’d go back in time for,
but for all the memories
that I didn’t know I had.
