Every Part of Your Body Betrays You
You try to give the impression that you are immune to me,
and you say that you became like a rock a long time ago,
but your actions speak contrary to your words
and nothing can stop our kiss anymore.
You wouldn't want anything except friendship with me,
but at my touch every part of your body betrays you,
and your restless hands that are always on me.
and your cheeks that are as red as embers.
Your eyes shine when your gaze travels to me,
like the morning star that overshadows all the stars at dawn,
and a clumsily concealed smile when you're next to me
says that it is a short way from a rock to a woman in love.
