Souvenirs of Your Smile

Woman, you were so pretty. You were so beautiful You were so enlightened, so verdant and full of life You were so kind. You were so wonderful You were so tender and distant from the caterpillars. Oh! Woman, I remember, I recall your smile So radiant, so extraordinary and so phenomenal Oh! Oh! Souvenirs, memories of yesterday's hours That leave the heart thirsty for a brighter future. Love of a yesteryear, I'm still enjoying The young spring of my life. I'm still strong Obviously, it's too early to think about death. Oh! You used to be so pious, now you've lost yourself You no longer exist for me. You left with the cloudy shadow You live somewhere else. Now, I'm proud to be away from your shadows. P.S.
