A love letter

Publicamos, de seguida, a carta de amor vencedora do Concurso de S. Valentim no escalão de alunos. Um excelente trabalho de Ricardo Rodrigues!

My Anima

How will I ever describe my affection for you? Those heavy feelings in my chest, the nervousness when I’m around you, the anxiety crossing with fear. The confusion in my mind, the insomnia you cause me and the unconscious smile whenever I see you. An infinite line of emotions, longer than time itself.

I am well aware that love is meant to be like two free birds. I am sorry though – I will take what I want and that is your heart. Just give yourself to me for a single day – I would take the heat of my body and surround you with my warm embrace, so you will know then how much the sun longs for the moon.

Please never forget that I, as clumsy as I am, will cherish and take good care of your heart, because I know that it is fragile as you are. Because I know your insecurities and all that makes you happy. The way your body gently sways when you are walking, the soft curves of your mouth.

If you give me a pen and paper I will write for you all day and night; give me a microphone and I will sing until my throat cannot hold longer. Then will my very own heart sing the infinite things that I would do for you.

Please, let me tell you this:

I do not know the reason behind by writing down this letter, since I can’t even speak a word to you without trembling… Because I am a coward and I cannot make these words come out of my lips.

I hope you can understand my perfect catastrophic rollercoaster of feelings, but above all that, my waves, my deep ocean of pink water with roses floating around like water lilies. And as I stretch my arm, hold my hand, and let us dive in to the depths.

Your Animus,
