First of all I would like tocursethank all of you who are posting poems in the fanfic section. All of themforcedinspired me to write one of my own. Note the original is in spanish, my first language, and it sounds much better that way. But just for you to understand the meaning of the words, I'll be making a rough traslation/english adaptation. Excuse any Engrish you might find.
Okay, here it goes. It's looooong.
