{Let's fall in love}

Let's go around the world
like birds,
let’s love each other endlessly
let’s rediscover each other
and in poetry we are reborn;

let’s peregrinate,
with only our reserve
our infatuation;

let’s savour each other,
with breakfast
our croissants,
these roses I'll bring you
to bed,
for a lifetime,
plucked from the depths of my ears.

Let’s fall in love
and live again;

come, follow me
and dive in,
hurt yourself
and begin again

The heart has its reasons
that reason ignores.

Come, let's build our reserves
in a family
for a lifetime.

Come, my candid
be a child
and let's fly.

Come and land with me in Venice
where I'll sing to you every morning
my love motto.
