Te Acordaras de Mi

You will remember me when you need
that I hold your waist with my hand
and the air of a compliment slips
to the vital center of tenderness.

You will remember me when you wander
between your heart and your senses
and find surprised that there is no one
who has ever loved you like me.

You will remember me... you will remember me...
I know that despite yourself... you will have of me...
an unease on the surface....
and you will remember me.

You will remember me like the shadow,
haven of relentless heat
and you realize that the voice that now names you,
names you like the rest of the people.

That you are no longer the light of those eyes
that, looking through yours, discovered;
blues, yellows, greens, reds...
the magical colors of life.

You will remember me... you will remember me...
I know that despite yourself... you will have of me...
an unease on the surface....
and you will remember me.

You will remember me when naked,
the unstoppable fever of desire
claims its most acute urgencies
without remedy, excuses, or detours.

You will remember me... you will remember me...
I know that despite yourself... you will have of me...
an unease on the surface....
and you will remember me.
