I long for you

A cup of love

By HousekeepingPublished about a year ago 1 min read
I long for you

I long for you

For you are tenderness

And you are safety

And the oasis of my heart when it gets tired

I long for you with the longing of the deserts

For the face of winter

And the abundance of clouds

I long for you with the longing of the nights

For the light of the suns

For the light of the meteors

We read books and books about love

And your love is not what is in the books

Because you are the most beautiful love in my life

If we are far

If we get close

And your eyes

I fear the eyes

Nets for my heart in which they are erected

Arrows that strike my heart and mind

If they hit

If they don't hit

If I die of longing I die a martyr

And if I die of love

You are the reason.
