Breath of Life 

I love you as I love the flowers that brighten up Summer.
I love you as I love the air on a mild morning.
I love you with feelings that come from deep in my heart,
Feelings of a future always with you by my side,
Of a future being forever part of your life.
 

I love you each moment of my days and nights.
As I take each step in the way of my life.
Without you I have no present… no hopes for my future.
I love you more today than in the past…
Much more while I feel the time passing away.
 

I can feel the stillness of the night…
I can hear birds whispering their songs at dawn.
Songs that join my loving thoughts,
As my companions
In the haunted nights of my restlessness.
 

I love you each moment of my days and nights,
As I take each step in the way of my life.
