TU PAÑUELO
Oscar D' Lugo
YOUR HANDKERCHIEF
The handkerchief you left that night
I keep it in my memory, your memory
When I'm alone, I contemplate it
And I sense your figure up close
In its silk is the trace of your tears
And the pink of your lips still lingers
And I get drunk on its still lingering perfume
That makes me relive that atmosphere
Your handkerchief, I kiss it, caress it, and squeeze it
Your handkerchief, I care for it, I venerate it
And it's my solace
The handkerchief you left that night
Was witness to moments of madness
You're no longer here and it was all an adventure
And all that's left of you today is your handkerchief
