Let's say I am the woman you seek, a silent shadow, a gentle enigma
Let's say I am the woman you seek, a silent shadow, a gentle enigma
Let's say I am the woman you seek, a silent shadow, a gentle enigma,
with a discreet smile and few words, a delicate presence that doesn't overshadow,
you might think I am calm, easy to love, a fragile being by my very nature,
but inside—God, inside I'm another story, another universe.
Within me hides a coldness, an almost selfish self-love,
I look at people and feel nothing, listen to their stories and just pretend,
the truth is I prefer to forget rather than care, to remember without purpose,
I smile, nod, say the right words, but I know I am different.
I don't want to be like them, for their world seems pale to me, their light dim,
perhaps I was born this way, or perhaps somewhere, sometime, I chose another path,
a path where love is a game that doesn't attract me, and kindness is a mask,
which I wear every day, and yet, you will never know the truth.
Because I show exactly what you want to see, a face sculpted in your desires,
a hidden dream that always keeps its distance, a mystery you cannot unravel.
