Emociones
Millie Corretjer
Emotions
If just one day were enough
To see all of life
To try an emotion
That is not there, that is not seen
That is not touched, nor felt,
It is not present.
If just a caress were enough
Or a hug of friendship
If just half were enough
Of so many dreams you had
When you were younger
To try an emotion
It's like the cold, like the fire, it is,
It's like the water that quickly goes away
It's like before and after everything
It's like the way you wanted it
It's like a thread, a knot, an opening
It's a light that is not seen during the day
It's like the sky, the open sea
And then a desert of emotions
Physical or not, it comes out in a thousand reactions
Chemical or not, it comes out within me.
If just doing what pleases you were enough
To try an emotion, it's not sufficient
Nor to go around the whole world
And meet many people with the idea
Of finding a truth
And with a kiss say yes, say yes
I love you very much, I'm here
And give everything at once
To have in return a bit
Of emotion, an emotion..
