I can see you
When I close my eyes,
I feel your kisses wandering,
Migrating decisively
Between your lips and mine.
The untold desires, unexpectedly inspired,
The restless solitude
Written in your eyes.

I can hear your voice whispering
The secrets of the night:
The strategy to surround me,
To spoil me, to calm me,
To study every line,
And draw on my body
A celestial map.

I can feel you craving
The love that we once had,
Embracing me tenderly,
Filling the emptiness
Until I fall endlessly into your arms,
Wishing that we never say good-bye.

I can touch the memories
That were left behind:
Your laugh, your skin,
Your freckles, your dreams,
All hidden in plain sight,
While a part of you
Remains with me tonight.

A.V.O.
