Cartas Amarillas
Alvaro Veliz
Yellow Letters
I dreamed of the sunrise
I dreamed of autumns, now distant
My light has faded, my night has come
I searched for your gaze and didn't find it
The rain has stopped falling
Sitting on the beach of oblivion
I shaped, with the sand
Your serene image
Your hair with seaweed I drew
And I searched among your
Yellow letters
A thousand I love yous, a thousand caresses
And a flower that between two pages
Fell asleep
And my empty arms
Were closing
Clutching at nothing
Trying to stop my youth
Finally, today I have returned to the truth
My empty hands have searched for you
The grass has grown, the Sun has fallen asleep
I call you and you no longer hear my voice
And I searched among your
Yellow letters
A thousand I love yous, a thousand caresses
And a flower that between two pages
Fell asleep
And my empty arms
Were closing
Clutching, at nothing
Trying to stop my youth
