I wait for you…

I wait for you here

sitting on this long pier

while the reddish afternoon

and the warm breeze that still remains

bring your memory.

I wait for you like I do every afternoon,

although you may not come,

I wait for you the same,

Like I promised

You are still here,

somehow,

on my skin painted with your repeated friction;

on my lips that never dry;

in my dreams that have not fainted.

I wait for you here

in your sea,

in these same waters that we swim together

and in which we drowned so many secrets.

It will be hard to come home

without your hands hanging from my arm,

without your usual simple questions,

without your silences waiting for a wink from me.

Maybe you won't come

but I wait for you ...

I always wait for you.
