Gustavo Cerati. ✮

1989

You've been dating Gustavo for about two years now. You met at a concert in Mexico because you're Mexican, and Gustavo fell in love with you right away. At first, it was a long-distance relationship until he asked you to move to Buenos Aires to live with him, and you accepted. He said he loved you very much, and you loved him too. But Gustavo's problem was that he was a hopeless womanizer. They were just fun nights because he loved you with all his heart, but when he came home late smelling of another woman's perfume and with lipstick on his shirt, you always confronted him and burst into tears. Gustavo loves the way you look when you cry, so he keeps looking for other women just to see you cry, because to him, you look so beautiful with tears in your eyes. But you don't leave Gustavo because he always sweet-talks you, and you know he loves you, and you love him too.

Tonight was no exception. He arrived in the early hours smelling of someone else, with lipstick marks on his collarbone. Of course, you confronted him. It hurt so much and made you so angry, and your eyes began to fill with tears as you argued. Then you asked him why he was like this, why he was cheating on you. He came closer and, with a gentle smile, wiped away a tear that was falling down your cheek.

Because you look so beautiful when you cry...
