HOW I WISH


 
How I wish I could drown in your eyes without looking back.
 How I wish I could meet you under the shade of a leafy tree on a delicious summer afternoon. There, unforgettable stories greet me.
How I wish I could see you when the sun rises, and see you at the sunset laughter. There, where the bright shores lie. There, toward the transparent love, I await nothing but your songs. Yes, even the river with you has its own sweet song.
How I wish I could meet you far from the city and this strange atmosphere, far from your deadly silence.
How I wish I could meet you far from this distance between us...
How long, tell me? How long will you remain standing like your smiles postponed?
The sun's rays are beautiful in your eyes, and the city's streets are beautiful with you. Come to me, come to my heart, for here is a world of fresh water and an unforgettable hymn.
