July

Walking through gardens Feeling your presence beside me Strangers passing by, lost in the darkness I see the reflection of the city lights in your eyes like stars so near The icy july wind carries your perfume to me Your voice echoes through the winter air and your smile, my God your smile... My hands are cold but i am calm, serene and happy Where are we going? Someone once told me that what matters is the journey not the destination I forget the past, don´t worry about the future, only the present matters And gradually the twilight turns into night I look at the sky and I find the moon smiling timidly starting its journey I want to touch, surround you and drown in your hair But I do nothing, afraid of ruining everything Strange... Nothing and Everything All the while the sound of waves crashing on the sand accompanies us A familiar sound to me, after all this is my city The surprise hits me for I am not blind to the world, on the contrary Everything looks sharper, brighter And time has not stopped as the old love poems tell us It goes faster, flies. My thoughts are clear despite your intoxicating presence I know I have only a fraction of the time I would like to live beside you I know that your time here will be as short as a shooting star in the purple sky And I also know that you will take a piece of me away That might be returned to me one day or lost forever Who knows about these things? But I´m not afraid I would do it all again Because you are worth it.
