As you stood across from me at the party
with your radiant smile
Time had stopped
and everything around us dissolved away
There was only us
I couldn’t help but gaze into the depth of your eyes
and feel like swimming
into the brown and amber sea
exploring the mysteries and wonders within
all that is you
While I know such highly entertained
thoughts of deep affection
will only render melancholy spirits,
for deeply beloved you already are,
I cannot help
but hold you dear to me
and love you to the greatest extent I can,
without attachment,
even if these words and feelings
never be expressed,
and I write now in soliloquy
There shall be nothing less
than utter happiness in my heart
in all the days that follow,
from simply having you in my life
Buona Notte
mia bella Amica
