I was absent for a while To protect myself I remained serene, just observing I tried to learn After walking through this desert Surrounded by so many people Who only look at their own navel And forget to be friends I learned to value that a simple smile Comes to compensate for 100 tears that have already fallen I understood that there's no time for drafts or scribbles My mistakes are for learning, my days are already written I hope you understand that the people who are by your side Could be anywhere else in the world And in this immensity of the universe, places and times It's a pleasure to share time with you I was absent for a while To protect myself I remained serene, just observing I tried to learn I learned to value that a simple smile Comes to compensate for 100 tears that have already fallen I understood that there's no time for drafts or scribbles My mistakes are for learning, my days are already written I hope you understand that the people who are by your side Could be anywhere else in the world And in this immensity of the universe, places and times It's a pleasure to share time with you
