THE TENDERNESS OF YOUR HAND

You and I,

we are sitting

facing each other,

at each sunset,

identical to another.

However,

your heart,

tonight,

it is more absent than ever.

It is not difficult for me

to guess why.

Your heart

would like to reveal to me

that it has lost the joy,

that I

am no longer the one

it had known.

Your heart

would like to reveal to me

that it wants to leave.

But I,

I cannot exist

if you are not there.

I could not resist

more than a sunset,

more than a sunrise,

if you were not there,

because you

are my heart,

you are my soul.

My universe is you,

and nothing ever,

away can take you.

Love,

please give me

the tenderness of your hand,

breathe in my love,

uninterruptedly,

breathe

together with me.

My heart

is very simple,

it is a wounded lily.

Tonight,

as always,

it needs yours.

Love,

please give me

the tenderness of your hand,

breathe in my love,

uninterruptedly,

breathe

together with me.
