Echoes

Desire is just one side
Of my devotion.

I've had to lose it all
for being able to
give you everything I have
in the way I'm doing it.

Desperation, sadness
and loneliness
are the torrential rain
that feeds
the roots of this love.

You're smiling, maybe
(that's how I imagine you)
and you're telling me:
"I don't know where are we going"

I touch you
(I dream about it, trying to feel you)
and I answer:
"I'm not afraid of getting lost".

Your hair
has the colour of the sun
at sunset,
and your naked back
seems to contain the answers
to all the questions
I wasn't able to
formulate yet.

I'm going towards you.
