FOR WANTING YOU
José Araujo de Souza
You don’t have to want me
How I want you.
You don’t even have to sing
the love song that I want to hear so much,
nor that you always follow my path.
I just want you to leave me
love you with all my love.
You don’t have to come
every day and give me a hug.
Not even if your eyes are smiling
when they see my eyes,
even if your body is tender
when feeling my body.
I want you just as you are,
without more power.
I want to be with you in me
and love you like that, even when the night
find me alone, away from you.
I want to be with you in me
and love you, even when the words
I say, you can’t hear.
I want to be with you, in me, like this,
to always be in you.
