Waiting For You

 

(Dedicated to Triana, a daughter never born, 8/6/99)

 

 

I will be waiting for you -

As I surf TV channels

Make breakfast in the morning

Cook your favorite dishes

Sing your favorite songs

Look at your smiling pictures

Remember you humming my songs

Recollect your childish voice

Dream your gentle and loving touch

Scold you for foolish mistakes

Touch your hand to comfort you

Eat at your favorite restaurants

Drive through your favorite route

Stop by the beach you loved most

Look at your disoriented clothing

Listen to your bold yet caring recorded voice

I will be waiting for you, baby !

With a broadened mind,

With wild romantic thoughts,

With a hope of your loving touch again,

When your loving voice will tell me -

That you love me!

That you need me!

And you are my baby!
