Te Ví Pasar

I saw you pass by and once again time stood still
It was that blush that changed my mood
It left me speechless
While naked, I close my eyes to your eyes
And with an imperfect sigh, I think that you are the perfection I aspire to
And I still rave and lose my composure every time you come
And you get closer, although never close enough to smell how you smell
And your taste, your taste is the greatest utopia
I remain in oblivion thinking that someday
I could conquer you with my poetry
I haven't seen you smile yet, I would invent
A comedy with a golden curtain
I haven't heard you speak yet, how much I would give
For just a whisper, poor fool
Deluded by illusion
Begging silently for you to turn around
To look at me and know that I'm here
Like an eternal after, waiting for a gesture from you
To put myself at your feet
And upon seeing you pass by
The sweetness in my palate tells me you're going to stop
But I end up swallowing bitterness when, however, you continue
And pass by
I saw you pass by
I want to know, what do you dream about?
What excites you?
What torments you? What irritates you?
What does life give you? I want to know, what takes from you?
How is it possible that so much crying leaves my pillow so dry?
How is it possible to love so much? Barely knowing anything about you
How is it possible for me to forget to think just to feel?
How is it possible that something as beautiful as you can exist?
And as I blindly follow you, I know your light feeds me
That your mere presence is a mix of absence and growth
That your memory turns me into a master of origami
Trying to define how you light up
How you blur the rest of the galaxy and numb it
And there's only you
You, elegant and absent
Unaware of having revived every corner of my mind
You, walking indifferently
Causing people to be like inert statues
In the face of the life you emit
And I've never had you and if you're not here, I miss you
It's this blessed poison
It's the madness I inhabit
It makes me want to be good, I would be more so between your breasts
Impossible like the sky
Unattainable like the past
Distant like death when I dream of you by my side
I saw you pass by
