MUSIC IN THE MORNING
Today early in the morning
It is cool and misty,

Flamenco guitars play in the background
Crickets are still playing their song

I observe the flowers
And the loving gaze of my dog
But you are not with me,
it is true I feel lonely.

My heart and soul are empty,
Waiting for your arrival,
A kind word ,a kiss,
Waiting for your smile

Hopelessly romantic
I stare through the window down the road
Hoping you’ll come up the hill
And I don’t know what I will do?

Flamenco guitars continue
Beautifully but painfully executed music
Makes me melancholic
Makes me long for you

I want us to enjoy this melody together
I want to share this moment with you
I want to share my heart my life, my soul,
With your heart your soul with you…..

True love and happiness can be achieved
Pleasures in life are fleeting
Only love justifies life
I will not be complete without you

My life needs yours
So this journey can be finished
At the right time, right place
Together…………..

Morning mist is around
Coolness invades my soul
Flamenco guitars keep playing slow
And I am missing you………

I WISH YOU WERE HERE
I wish you were here
We could cuddle and sip coffee
Perhaps plan a trip to the beach
Or fly with the birds,

I wish you were here
We could kiss each other
Cry and laugh together
I could see your eyes again

I wish you were here….

I THOUGHT OF YOU TODAY
I thought of you today
I loved you since I met you,
I know this, deep in my heart and soul
I still do, I always will….

I feel like I never felt before
I know that you have a powerful grip on my heart
Since that magical time your eyes laid on me
I thought of you today……

Yet, many months after,
Storms, distance and silence,
My entire being trembles like today
When I think of you

You have a grip
That feels sweet and strong,
When I embraced you I wondered
Will this last forever?

It is the fate of my life
That I’ll have to learn to live
With this pain in my heart,
With this thought of you

I have no doubt
That you will think of me
I have no doubt
That I’ll think of you again……
Alvaro, Summer /2000
