Vetinha

When you walk into our bedroom

I burn on desire.

I hope another year is gone soon

Then my body can be once again on fire.

For your smile, babe,

I write, I work, I fight.

To touch your skin again like crazy

Even to stay I might.

You’re my best friend, my lover,

My co-worker, my looseness.

My Vetinha, don’t make me a loser.

I beg you, don’t bring me into all the craziness.

Just kiss me and do it as slowly as you can.

Tell me I’m your love

And everything will be alright again.

Hug me and say “yes”.

Don’t forget you’re my love

And never mind what people say.

So we can sleep together once more.

I can smell your hair, hear your voice.

You can tell me a joke, make me laugh.

Is it not what everything is about?!
