#conditional

Pero ni los conventos tienen muros bastante elevados, ni las madres tienen cerraduras suficientemente complicadas, ni la religión deberes lo necesariamente estrechos para encerrar a esos encantadores pajarillos en sus jaulas, sobre las cuales apenas nos dignamos a arrojar algunas flores. Y es que ellas sienten irresistibles deseos de conocer ese mundo que tan cuidadosamente se les oculta, anhelan penetrar el enigma que creen tan tentador, escuchan conmovidas la primera voz que a través de los barrotes llega a sus oídos contándoles secretos y bendice la primera mano que alza una pluma del velo misterioso. ↗

But the last one: the baby who trails her scent like a flag of surrender through your life when there will be no more coming after - oh, that's love by a different name. She is the babe you hold in your arms for an hour after she's gone to sleep. If you put her down in the crib, she might wake up changed and fly away. So instead you rock my the window, drinking the light from her skin, breathing her exhaled dreams. Your heart bays to the double crescent moons of closed lashes on her cheeks. She's the one you can't put down. ↗

....finally I see that it’s never been me, just a blanket that keeps you warm. Easily tossed along when something flashier or someone prettier comes along. Your heart I held so carefully, I see, this was all just a game... ↗
