Absent but lasting presence
You say, my love, that you can only love me
when you see me and I am at hand,
concrete and tangible in virtual presence,
but for me the soul is much more real,
more present and more tangible
and even more so when you are not present,
since I can not live without that love of yours
which constantly pervades my whole existence.
Let me dream of you and keep you in my dreams
forever tangible and more so even in your absence,
since I'll never let you go away from me
where you belong inseparable from my soul
no matter how much falsely separated we may be;
since all the senses always lie
by satisfying mirages to please us,
while the soul sees far behind reality
and sees it through
to see what is much truer and more lasting.
