Tortoni

Tortoni is a famous restaurant on the Avenida de Mayo in Buenos Aires. Antonio and me went there after the Cabildo was closed. There we spend the evening of march 6 2006. A date to remember.

 

I still feel your arm

Showing me the pictures

On the wall at Tortoni’s

I still see your eyes

So dark, so deep

I feel your shyness

And you must feel mine

As though we are children

Loving for the first time

Living in a world called Tortoni’s

My glass of wine

Thirsts for the deep brown sea

Of my lovers eyes.

Red and brown

Black the depth

Of their longing

  

My love

Do I miss you

Our time together only six hours

Enough to fill a lifetime

Enough to feel lost these days without you

What is another 48 days

Just a bite out of this year

Endless in our eyes

Endless the few days since our last e-mail

Far away on the other side

Of our horizon of time

You look at me in black and white

Retouched by me

I am touched by you

I look at you in black and white

The essence of a person

Caught in one dimension

Tango

Tangible emotion

I cry when I hear your passion

I want to hold my love close to my heart

The music vibrating in our bodies

In a whirl that binds us together

Tangible love

And now we are back

5 Years later

We drink the wine of our love

In this place
Confirming the impossible

Gardel and Borges as our witnesses
