What is the difference between Pretérito imperfecto and Pretérito perfecto? For instance, what is the difference between sabía and supe? I couldn't explain verb use in English much less have any hope of doing it in Spanish....

Aunque no me creas/ si me lo propongo/ lograre olvidarte/ porque a fin de cuentas/ no soy tan cobarde./ Y termino todo una de estas tardes/ no sera dificil buscar algún sitio donde refugiarme/ donde nunca mas vuelvas a encontrarme.
