IF

 if suddenly ,

you forget me .

do not look for me ,

for I shall already have forgotten you .

but ,

if each day ,

each hour ,

you feel that you are destined for me ,

with implacable sweetness ,

or if each day strange feeling ,

climbs up to your heart to seek me ,

my love, my own ,

in me all that fire is repeated ,

in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten ,

my love feeds on your love .

beloved ,

as long as you live

it will be in your arms

without leaving mine .
