Te Quiero

I love you,
like nobody loved you,
like nobody will love you.
I adore you,
like one adores in life,
the woman one must love.
I love you,
like one loves life
when life is beauty;
like one loves a brother;
like one loves a mother,
with that unmatched love,
like one loves in life
once, and nothing more.

Today I love you more than yesterday,
but less than tomorrow;
and there is no superhuman force
that can stop my love.
Caresses are very beautiful,
if they come from the heart;
and loves are beautiful
that keep the illusion.

And if a love causes it,
it is sublime, even to the pain,
and the sorrows are not sorrows,
when they are sorrows of love.

Today I love you more than yesterday
but less than tomorrow;
my passion is sovereign,
and demands your love.
