WHO WILL PROTECT YOU?
Who will protect you from anxieties
when I am no longer in this universe,
who’ll caress your beautiful forehead
saying, “Let’s sleep, for it is late”?
Who will whisper words of comfort,
the ones that flow just like a stream,
who will give you a caress, a smile,
waking up your anima and fantasy?
Who will accompany you in a dream,
speak to you or give you a lot of love,
who will kiss you, who will touch you
when I won’t be any more in this life?
