To Irma:

 

Tears and rain got together

mixed like you and me.

I was tears, you were rain

and despite our differences,

we make love as immense

as the rivers, as the seas.

 

I hear that seas are here

because lovers cry

and all these tears

go to the rivers

that fill the sea.

 

You make me cry and sometimes happy

I'll never change your love

even if you don't want me.

I'll stay where I am now

close to the waves; tasting the water

feeling the sand and looking at the sky.

 

It will be like tasting our love,

feeling your warmth, and seeing your eyes

and since I will cry as long as I live

You can be sure, the seas will be here.
