    Hi and thanks.

    I can’t wait to hear about La Brea Tar Pits. Interesting place.

    Bye.

    I’d like to be an archaeologist. It’d be fun. Who knows some day I will?

    WITHOUT YOUR LOVE

    Like I loved you, nobody will ever love you
    when you wake up you will not find me
    at your side

    You and me will be ever absent
    my solitude no longer will you feel
    since today

    Without you my dear lover
    never understand what my adversity
    could be living alone

    Without me, your loneliness will vanish
    and time after time, your doubts will soon
    pass away

    Don´t worry my dear sould, such is life
    when a lover is tired of receiving so much
    love as I give you

    No unrequited love will live for ever
    even so I’ll await for you inside my soul
    till I die.

    +++++

    Peace and love for every one of you
    friends of ESL site

    Hi, Emiliano! You make me cry.
    Without you my dear lover…it’s the dream of everyone who wants to be together with the beloved person.
    A dream? It can be a real dream even if sometimes it is just for a short period of time.
    The most important thing is to have the chance to live , to feel this amazing love
    and someone telling you , only for you, “I’ll wait for you inside my soul till I die”.

    I have to write this nice poem in my special notebook.
    Thank you, dear Emiliano.

    Tania

  6. emiliano says:

    Your words sound wonderful to me dear Tania, it is great that
    my poem moves your feelings this way, thank you so much
    dear friend.
    You are always in my thoughts when I put some poem here
    and can´t forget your nice words of before.
    Cuca is here at my side and I have told her about your message, it
    is a pity she can´t read English and translating to Spanish the poem
    it´s not a right option.

    Next April 30th we will be married for 44 years as we said “yes I do”
    on the year of 1970 here in Madrid. It has been a long long way
    full of happiness and some sorrows, but here we are together living
    by today.

    That´s the point.

    emiliano
