Even if everyone
says that you have nothing.
Even if no one at all
will ever understand what it is
that I alone love and see in you.
When you smile at me softly—softly—
you are happy, just because.
You know that everyone
knows nothing of our love.
You only know that when I hold you tight,
you can dream, you can feel happiness.
When I whisper to you "I love you, I love you"—
you are happy, I know.
And if you are happy because,
in your world, you see only me,
that is our secret that
you have always guarded within yourself—for me.
Even if everyone
says that you have nothing.
Even if no one at all
will ever understand what it is
that I alone love and see in you.
When you smile at me softly—softly—
you are happy, I know.
You know that everyone
