"I'm A Friend"

-----------------------------------------------
Please remember! This translation is my personal work. It is sometimes difficult to translate word for word from Spanish to English, so it may sound awkward in one languange when it is perfectly natural in the other. But I think you can get the general idea!

-----------------------------------------------
I wake up again lost,
Lost in the darkness
I lie here thinking,
dreaming that you are beside me
I forget my sadness
and for awhile I don't feel my suffering
Again my thoughts
fill my being
I look at you and want you
Later I regret it, upon realizing
that you'll never be mine
and I shouldn't think that way

Because I'm only a friend
Only a friend
I can only be in your life
another person to talk to
without sharing love
Distant from your life,
a slave to your heart

Because I'm only a friend
Only a friend
So much is my anguish
of seeing you and not having you
Very close to your life
Maybe one day you'll be able to see me
