To love you I need a reason
_____
And it's hard to believe that there's not another one
That even though they say
_____
Because all the time that I spent next to you
_____
Wove its thread inside me
_____
And I learned to steal seconds from time
_____
You made me see the sky even deeper
_____
Next to you I think I gained more than three kilos
_____
With your many sweet kisses spread around
_____
You developed my sense of smell
_____
And it was because of you that I learned to love cats
_____
You lifted my shoes off the cement
_____
So that we both could escape flying for a while
_____
But you forgot one final instruction
_____
Because I still don't know how to live without your love
_____
And I discovered what a rose means
_____
You taught me to tell white lies
_____
So that I could see you at improper hours
_____
And to replace words with looks
_____
And it was because of you that I wrote more than a hundred songs
_____
And I even forgave your mistakes
_____
And I learned more than a thousand ways to kiss
_____
And it was because of you that I discovered what it is to love
