My desire is to drink
All the letters of your personal alphabet,
Remove from it the words and to rob from the
Zodiac your sign and
Occult them in my heart
Scatter to the wind my love
Emitting your feelings
To turn tangible the moment of
Touching your soul
Emotionally, uniting it to mine.
To me happiness would be,
Occasion in which the total love would be filling me,
Redeeming your will,
Remodeling your personality,
Enveloping in my heart your truths,
So you would be eternally mine.
