If you will

If you will

Written in January 11, 1965 to my future husband

I could give my last love,if you will
one love calm and sweet
the greatest one left to me
interwoven with dead memories, and heed
I could present you the very love you need
born within the regret
of lost dreams to forget
but which could grow up straight
unique and great . . .
Within my bitter silence
I saved this gift for years, if you dare
a boundless gift to share
you don't know this
calm and faithful like life is
and more strong than Time
as soon if you will
Maria Annunziata Bertagnolio
