Looking at the mirror
When i look myself at the mirror
i don't see anything,
only my shadow living on the ground.
Sometimes i feel myself so lonely
out-of-the-way as a cub without her mother
and the only thing that i would and i need
is a bit of love.
When i walk on the streets it seem to me that
i'm invisible to all the world.
Only you see me and know that i'm so empty
and needly of tenderness.
When i look myself at the mirror
i can see only my lonely life,
and my shadow on the ground
walking desperately up and down
to search your presence.
Sometimes i close my eyes and i imagine
how it could be beautiful if we could stay together in a big hug
looking ourselves at the mirror.
