And so my love laughs When there is no reason, or just because so. (Porque Si) Even in the darkest hours she brings a spark of light each time she looks my way In just that way That I may see the softening of her smile and so My love laughs. Although time has come between us to find us living in parts Separated at heart. She may know I still hear her in distant calls of seagulls at the shore, And even so, my love laughs. As I ride this never ending road to places new and memories old Our past has come and gone like a flash in the pan Which cannot hope to over shadow her. And so my love laughs, and my intentions scatter in chaos. Blushing and shy, as if subdued by the obvious futility of the plans we have made. She slips between my thoughts just as comfortably as the bed sheets and there remains, With me mesmerized. Thus so my love smiles at all my intellectual banter, with no apologies necessary to deny her comprehension. She just doesn't partake in such vice. In her way she turns away from my nuanced innuendo, tossing me a wink over her shrugging shoulder as her black hair swings just slightly Below her shoulder blades. And don't you know my heart melts. In the echoes of her laughter, And I forgo all those wishes and expectations I let slip in between us Abandoning all that for which I have longed And that Which remains unfulfilled In full recognition that she was what I wanted all along. And so my love laughs Therefore I am compelled to laugh along with her As I look into her eyes and I realize she has known this all along And that is why – My love laughs.
