All that I desire
All that I desire from you,
Is the sweetness of your words,
The warmth of your gestures,
That last glass of water
When stuck in between worlds,
Struggling not to die!
All that I desire from you,
Is exactly what you can offer:
A promise that lasts a little longer,
Than our poignant present!
Greater than my hunger,
Of love for you, my beloved.
