Catarina

Catarina, if I could say
How much I love you
It’d be enough to light up this world that’s feeling so strange

Seeing you always trying to understand
Making it easier to live
Listening to me cry and looking at me with those sweet eyes

If I disappear for months
You’re the one I want to see the most
Catarina, how do I explain that maybe in this life it’s just you and me

And if I pull away without knowing
From this world out of fear of being
Catarina, with your way you always win me over
I’ll lend you my ties, just give them back

Catarina, if I could explain
My smile when I see you love me
It’d be enough to write poems that are worth posting a picture of
And if things get worse
If sadness comes and wants to stay
We’ll laugh at a joke that only makes sense to us

And I’ll lend you blue dresses
In exchange, I just want your light
Catarina, heal this fear I have of never being enough

I want your photos of the sky
Your ideas in ink and paper
Catarina, if you only knew that what you see in me, I see in you too
But I see it in you

Catarina, I love your colors, your sea
I love hearing you talk
If I could, I’d give you flowers and secret gardens for you to tend

And when this kingdom is yours
When the future arrives
I’ll always be here
If you want to sing the 2000s

Catarina
