Delving into this crucial matter
Of how my love ripened for you
Leaves me dazed and breathless,
With ribbons of verbs rippling through my mind,
Whenever I contemplate how you
Revived me.
Expressing fathoms of gratitude
For the authenticity of your being,
How you timely whirled in my direction,
I, clinging to fragile threads of meaning –
And to think, I nearly stopped believing
In fated love.
Debería decirle –
Si tengo el valor de hacerlo –
Si hay tiempo en este mundo apresurado,
Como tu amor es electrizante.
Como estoy en éxtasis.
Y me pongo nerviosa cuando oigo su voz.
Your riveting revolution
Sends me spinning into a giddy girl
Of sixteen and brimming with ardent resolutions,
Kisses me back into the present –
Delicious detours off winding roads
Paved with a patina of sublime joy.
Esos caminos llevan la huella de tu corazón.
Esos caminos llevan hacia nosotros.
Por eso, no necesito un mapa.
Tanto como puedo recordar:
Tu eras / eres mi primer amor.
¡Por fin, soy en tierra firme!
