The Soul of a Child
21 de abril de 2026
If you know me,
you know I'm like a child;
I have birds in my head
and I love to daydream,
both awake and asleep.
From a stick, I make a sword,
and from sincere lips,
my dwelling.
If you knew me well,
you'd know I like
the sweetness and cold of ice cream
enough to make me disappear from the world
while it lasts in my hands,
and the taste of a smile
while, boldly and with excitement,
she looks at me.
The sigh of a star
in the sky
when I gaze at her
in those moments,
with the eyes you lend me.
If you know me,
you know my soul
is full of memories,
and that my faithful friend,
whom I miss the most,
was a dog—
and after him,
the rest of the world.
You know butterflies make me fly,
and the waves of the sea
caress my skin just like
the fingers of my love would.
You know the sun is my ally,
and my engine roars
when they dedicate
a precise "I love you";
and it is an "I love you"
without flaws.
What captivates me is spontaneity
more than finesse,
and it burns my flesh
just thinking of touching you.
If you knew me well,
there would be no doubt
that real beauty
is a gift from life.
You would know that my stubbornness and obstinacy
are balanced with sweetness and affection.
If you know me,
you know I'm still
a child—
one who prefers a hug
to a perfect toy.
If you know me, give me your breath,
and if not,
let's get to know each other.
