I trust you not to break my heart

While I’m dangling it over Hell

(For—you—me—both or neither?)

I trust you.

(Por que ahora—

After all those betrayals?)

“Not dross to us/

But allay”

Was it ever said better?

(Was it said—to us?)

Not that any of this matters

As I let myself fall into

Tus ojos verdes

Made oscuros

By the darkness of the night.

Would I stop myself

If I could?—

(Should…)

So many irrelevant questions

Preguntas que no son importantes

Quien questions dreams come true—

Only me, only you and

A last minute pang of regret

Disguised as pain…

I don’t trust you, I don’t trust me

So much as the bond that’s between us

As substantial as el aire—

Invisible, too easily forgotten

Until it’s absent, gone.

Swallowing all doubts

I give in

A todos esas cosas…

Yo siempre he querido

Tu…tu…mi camarada

Amigo, hermano de la alma

Y ahora,.novio y amante.

No longer any words left

None for the joy, for the fear—

And I wish I could tell you how much

All of this scares me

But I’ve always tried to be (too) brave

For you.

One thing I could manage

Without being bella, hermosa, bonita—

Or anything else I’m not…

I’ll try now…

Just promise me…

Por favor, mi amor.
