Sapore di Sale

Taste of salt
taste of sea
that you have on your skin
that you have on your lips
when you come out of the water
and come to lie down
next to me, next to me.

Taste of salt
taste of sea
a slightly bitter taste
of lost things
of things left
far from us
where the world is different
different from here.

Time is in the days
that pass lazily
and leave in the mouth
the taste of salt
you throw yourself into the water
and leave me to watch you
and I remain alone
in the sand and in the sun

Then you come close
and let yourself fall
like that in the sand
and in my arms
and as I kiss you
taste of salt
taste of sea
taste of you!
