It was too boring for me. It may be that I have 0 patience or there ir something I've missed because I really don't understand how someone could like it. The main character is meh and the rest I just feel like I really don't care about them at all.

Asomaba a sus ojos una lágrima 
y a mi labio una frase de perdón; 
habló el orgullo y se enjugó su llanto, 
y la frase en mis labios expiró. 

Yo voy por un camino; ella, por otro; 
pero, al pensar en nuestro mutuo amor, 
yo digo aún: "¿Por qué callé aquel día? 
Y ella dirá: "¿Por qué no lloré yo?"
