River Phoenix (Letter to a Young Actor)

If one day we meet
And I confess
That I watched a movie so many times
To unravel your eyes
And if we talk
Tell the things we've lived
What do we expect from tomorrow
Could it happen?
Because, parallel to the character
I really wanted to know about you

I wanted you to be happy
A calm water flooding
Its shore of affection
An open heart to whoever comes

Like your name, different
A landscape leads us
A landscape of innocence
But one that knows and guides

Guide now this moment
My thoughts and eyes
Shining with emotion and gratitude
Someone who only knew you
In a movie watched so many times
