Da una lacrima sul viso ho capito molte cose dopo tanti tanti mesi ora so cosa sono per te. Una lacrima e un sorriso m'han svelato il tuo segreto che sei stata innamorata di me ed ancora lo sei. Non ho mai capito non sapevo che - che tu, che tu tu mi amavi ma, - come me, non trovavi mai il coraggio di dirlo, ma poi... Quella lacrima sul viso e un miracolo d'amore che si avvera in questo istante per me che non amo che te.
