If I love you

If I love you, it’s because you are beautiful.

If I often see you in my dreams

It’s because I’m obsessed with you,

And I cannot slow that pressure towards you.

If I love you, it’s for your smile.

If I sometimes cause you grief and sorrow

It’s because I love you,

For your tears are mine and I bitterly share them.

If I love you, it’s for your fragrance.

If life often makes you grieve

Because of its injustice and its subtle realities,

It’s because life is beautiful and it marvels you.

If I love you, it’s for your cheeks.

If sometimes along those cheeks

Stream floods of tears because of my feebleness of soul,

It’s because you love me and care a lot about me.

If I love you, it’s for your luscious and precious body.

If someday I seem mischievous towards you,

It’s the excess of my indulgence and this so great love

That blind me and make me merciless.

If I love you, it’s for your pretty brown eyes and sweet lips.

But if you love me, simply tell me

It’s because you have found it righteous to love me;

Since I deserve to be loved sincerely by you, my tender love.
