as if the impossibility was needed to make it possible...
What am I to be a lover
and a rogue at that in exile?
Who am I to make pretensions
on any lady's love
much more beautiful than me?
Who am I to nourish wishful thoughts
when it is certain that they can't be realized
beyond a reasonable doubt?
My love is totally impossible,
but the more it keeps on burning,
inflaming and consuming all my life
in a wreck of worry, chaos and pathetic tenderness,
as if impossibility
was all it needed to transcend mortality.

51. As if the impossibility was needed to make it possible...
What am I to be a lover
and a rogue at that in exile?
Who am I to make pretensions
on any lady's love
much more beautiful than me?
Who am I to nourish wishful thoughts
when it is certain that they can't be realized
beyond a reasonable doubt?
My love is totally impossible,
but the more it keeps on burning,
inflaming and consuming all my life
in a wreck of worry, chaos and pathetic tenderness,
as if impossibility
was all it needed to transcend mortality.
