I’M ABOUT TO LEAVE EVERYTHING

“I’m about to leave everything”
 
I’m about to leave everything
 
not for you, but for love:
 
for that little girl’s fairy tail to which every woman holds on.
 
I’m about to leave everything
 
to follow your dream,
 
I’m coming with you with what you have to give
 
the good and sometimes the bad.
 
I’m about to leave everything
 
most of all the family and the friends,
 
the tiled floor upon which I have walked barefoot
 
and everything that I know.
 
I’m about to leave everything,
 
including me myself.
 
I’ll come with you to the other part of the world
 
where no one is waiting for me
 
except for you.
 
I’m about to leave everything
 
for a man who, as a man,
 
doesn’t know the true meaning of things.
 
I will come with you because
 
as a woman, like a woman,
 
I do not know the meaning of a life
 
that is not love.
