Gustavo Gac-Artigas

love

there are loves that the wind sweeps away

 

there are loves that survive storms

 

there are loves that founder in the violent waters 

of oblivion

 

there are loves that survive oblivion

 

there are loves that return from the world of the dead

to be reborn in eternity

 

there are loves that cross the barriers of the heart

and relive the thrill of seeing 

 

the beloved for the first time

 

there are loves that strike in one second

justifying the torment of having lived until that moment

 

my beloved

 

i love you

 

beyond questions

 

beyond answers

amor

amor

hay amores que se los lleva el viento

 

hay amores que sobreviven las tormentas

 

hay amores que naufragan en las turbulentas aguas del olvido

 

hay amores que sobreviven el olvido

 

hay amores que regresan del mundo de los muertos 

para revivir en la eternidad

 

hay amores que cruzan las barreras del corazón

y que reviven el estremecimiento que se siente 

cuando se ve por primera vez al ser amado

 

hay amores que fulminan en un segundo 

y justifican el tormento de haber vivido hasta ese momento

 

amada mía 

 

te amo

 

más allá de las preguntas

 

más allá de las respuestas
