BRING THE BEST IN ME

All my ardent desires lie in her protective hands:

life, future, worthiness, values, trust, and happiness;

may my soulmate be practical in severe judgment,

and understand that the strongest man can be weak.

Bring the best in me without expecting miracles,

without exceeding your anger in misunderstandings;

listen attentively and don't miss specific needs...

fulfilling them when my fidelity strays and misleads.

We spend days planning our tomorrow with true enthusiasm,

taking out the bitterness of hurtful thoughts that often interfere

with the idealistic dreams that shouldn't be a delusive prism

reflecting alluring and inaccurate images of what we actually are.

Bring the best in me strengthening the weakness I show

through infidelity with deceitful words hiding ugly truth;

whatever you deny me turns into caresses that won't smooth

your doubts, but create deep wounds while fears outgrow.
