El Amado

By Prakriti Adhikari

Hold my hands till the very end,

Hold it until the world comes to an end.

I promise to never let you down, my love,

I promise to hold you close until my last word.

These aren't the words that's only spoken, honey,

These are the words that will come to an action.

Darling, hold me closer,

So close until everything is over.

Until your called to be mine again,

Until you look at me and smile again.

They say "I will die for my love",

But I swear I would make that phrase come true.

I swear I would do anything to make you stay,

Anything to make you wait a little longer.

Don't leave me holding these hands,

Cause these hands had memories I swear.

Hands those promised to be together,

Together, which would make it forever.

But at the end forever seemed to be only a word,

A word which could be never undone.

Only if I could make a deal with the god,

Only if I could go sooner than you.

Only if all this was a dream,

Only if all this wasn't real.

Honey, I promise to be there soon,

Just wait a little longer, my love.

Just a little longer until I am there,

Until we would be together again.

And this would last forever, darling,

Yes forever, my love.
