Their yearning for love is so deep that if one gives sweeness the other will offer a rose.
SPANISH TEXT: ''Ausencia'' Apenas te he dejado, vas en mi, cristalina o temblorosa, o inquieta, herida por mi mismo o colmada de amor, como cuando tus ojos se cierran sobre el don de la vida que sin cesar te entrego.

We have found each other Thirsty and we have Drunk up all the water and the Blood; this is my favourite
Wait for me, my love take me in your minds heart take me in your mouth, kiss me when our existences are too far apart keep me in your dream hold me when fears hold on instead of your arms...
But wait for me, Keep for me your sweetness. I will give you too A rose. The most romantic lines I've read so far, simple, close, personal n touchy. I like his language style, they offer the connection a lot of poets lack.

I'm interested to know as what inspired him to write this one.
Inwill gve you a rose.
