SO MANY DREAMS

So many dreams come together, 

some are like water, crystal clear and pure,

 others are melodies, singing to us pieces of our lives.
So many years I've lived dreaming, 

I won't forget that street, that corner, that bar where I saw you, 

drunk and romantic, a little lost.
Your smoky gaze, gilded by the sun,

 was a well of fine sand where you would strand me, 

and I would dive into words, enraptured, 

on a short journey where I was stealing myself, feeling.
We were young, full of hope and a roll, 

a thousand promises were written while you murmured, 

back then my voice shrank like fabric, 

only one word was born and repeated.

I love you!
I will always love you, 

even when the nights fall, 

and the beautiful days perish.
I call you!
to a dance with elegance that I created, 

surrounded by the shining stars, 

and your name on the lips that deserve it.
