I used to imagine your smile

Lasting days and days

When I would treat you like

The stars treat the sky

And like the riverbanks treat the rivers

 

I’d caress you for a long long time

When it would be time to stop I’d do it again

I’d caress you with my voice and my doings

And my experiences and my heart in love

I’d caress you with my clothes and with my hands

And with my feelings and my sounds

With my meals and with anything you wanted

 

I’d caress you like the water

Caresses the banks of a river

And like the ocean’s wave

Kiss the shore after a storm

And like the rain on your hand

In a warm tropical country

Where the drops fall on you

Like soft tears of love
