Candlelit Dinner by CRASCIO JAMES MICHAEL

Hey, what a dream you are,
forget the deer, you’re a blend
of Italian and Asian beauty,
with that little Venus strabismus that breaks hearts.
How graceful you are,
how sharp, quick to learn,
beautiful, without flaunting it,
you don’t dress like a "bad girl"—
I just wonder, why not?
Maybe you don’t see yourself as truly beautiful,
or maybe you don’t recognize your full potential,
or maybe you’re just a serious woman...
Because, woman, oh woman,
if I look closely, you’re still a girl,
not a flattery,
I wonder what water you drink,
you’re truly a wonder, you know?
You don’t see yourself as beautiful,
but I, from afar, have a sharp eye,
I was a waiter, and I pick up on things.
How tall you are, how elegant,
that slender neck, you look like you stepped out of a Modigliani painting.
You’re a giraffe, and that’s a rare kind of beauty.
And that smile...
Oh, your smile,
it sends an indescribable wave of energy through me.
You could be in a Vivident commercial,
and I’m not kidding,
when I think of you,
I don’t think of the trash I do with others.
They say when that happens,
it means you’re in love.
I don’t fall in love easily anymore,
I’m more cautious now.
The pain of a lost love is stronger
than the love you’ve received,
yet we shouldn’t despair over lost love,
because sometimes, you can still think you had it.
But I don’t want to sound pathetic,
or make you sad with these thoughts,
because you’re beautiful when you laugh,
an astral beauty, like a star shining in the dark.
You shine in front of my eyes,
but I’m tired of chasing planets.
So, you need to be discovered on your own,
in silence, as destiny would have it.
I’m sure you’ll listen to this song,
and see yourself in it, just let yourself flow toward me.
And while I write, I silently worship you,
the speakers play a gentle jazz,
and your image dances in my mind,
as if time has stopped,
as if everything was already written.
We’ve known each other for years,
but never enough to get too involved,
to truly discover one another.
I’ve gone through my own strange journey,
with an even crazier goal in mind.
You, on the other hand, are rational, thoughtful,
that’s why I never chased after you.
But it’s beautiful to imagine a candlelit dinner,
talking through a song,
but don’t search for me.
It’ll be destiny that makes us meet,
when I’m ready,
and you, you’ll always be like this,
beautiful, unchanging.
You’ve never smoked a cigarette in your life,
you’re pure, like a falling star.

Now, the minutes of the song are running out,
but I take you with me,
come, take my hand.
Do you like flying together above the skyscrapers?
Look at the city, how beautiful it is from above,
look at all the lights,
now, let’s land
on my balcony,
the stars mix with dreams,
in this silence that wraps us.
We sink into the bed of silk
antique, like the time that separates us
but today, it doesn’t matter
Slowly, gently
like a melody that fades into the air,
we let ourselves be carried away
by jazz, by desire
by everything we are
