54

 Loving you is not too complicated, 

not unexpected nor

overrated.

It’s simply beautiful,

like a poet’s song,

as it was always with you

that I belong. 

Not just a legal or religious match, we’re a pair

with magnificent style,

creating life on earth 

as our heaven, as it’s been

for this long while. 

So I say to my body,

keep on going if you will, 

use my fingers for these love songs, which my heart 

might truly fill. 

Our story continues in its

own way to mount, so many moments, no need to count. 

True, the fleeting moments 

now number 54, 

but they’ll be revered for today 

and forever more.
