Honesty

Pasaban esa canción cuando la conoció. Cuando la vió por primera vez.
Después tuvo que irse; viajar.
Ya habían pasado unos meses sin verse.
Es extraño. Pareciera que cuanto uno más desea ver a una persona; más difícil le es recordar su rostro cuando el tiempo transcurre. Como si todo se fuera esfumando al mismo tiempo que crece algo extraño por dentro. Es desesperación porque ese instante no se vaya. Porque la cara de ella no desaparezca de su memoria. Era injusto no poder verla. Injusto no tener forma de volver a su mirada clavada en él.
"Honesty" de Billy Joel es de esos temas que representan "los lentos". Del gran disco "52nd Street".

If you search for tenderness
it isn't hard to find.
You can have the love you need to live.
But if you look for truthfulness
You might just as well be blind.
It always seems to be so hard to give.
Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.
I can always find someone
to say they sympathize.
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve.
But I don't want some pretty face
to tell me pretty lies.
All I want is someone to believe.
Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.
I can find a lover.
I can find a friend.
I can have security until the bitter end.
Anyone can comfort me
with promises again.
I know, I know.
When I'm deep inside of me
don't be too concerned.
I won't as for nothin' while I'm gone.
But when I want sincerity
tell me where else can I turn.
Because you're the one I depend upon.
Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.
"Honesty" - Billy Joel
