Mundane, lost, never found,
the life of a girl who has lost
all spirit she ever had.
She now holds the fears
that should only be held
by those who don't understand.
Life is passing by,
day by day, a new sun
rises in the sky.
The clouds threaten to
blanket the universe,
make it lose its luster.
And she cries,
at night when no one is listening.
She fears the future
and what it promises,
threatening to tear it all apart.
And she forgets,
or at least tries to push it all,
away, away from her mind.
No one ever stays,
no one ever changes.
Life is just an endless journey,
forcing her to connect with a mass
of people who lack promise,
who refuse to protect,
comfort and share with her a life,
a life much better than the one
she awoke to this very day.
I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.
