Time stops

They say love only lives for three years.

 

Am I in love with you

Or is it simply admiration?

Charmed by your gracious gestures

And your intonations,

Your mind that's packed with theories and facts,

I see my heart.

By you it's been attacked,

And now it's under siege.

Each night I fly

With you, and the horizon is no limit,

Our freedom reeks of fire, Southern flowers

And starry nights.

We talk in our sleep,

Time stops,

My wound is deep

But from its bleeding depth

The amaryllis grows.

 

Time stops,

My admiration's amplified,

I see your soul,

So bright and dignified.
