Te quiero // I love you

La manera en que sonrie

Y piensas que todo va a estar bien

La forma en que suspira

Cuando se quita los zapatos al llegar a casa

La manera en que te mira

Cuando tus ojos encuentran los suyos

La forma en que camina

Lentamente, como para no espantarte

La manera en que te besa

En movimientos suaves y dulces y eternos

La forma en que dice "Te quiero"

Y realmente lo dice en serio

//Translation to English (Note: the term "Te quiero" can't really be translated to English. The closest translation would be "I love you", altough the original phrase is kind of in between "I appriciate you" and "I love you".) //

The way he smiles

And you think everything will be fine

The way he sighs

When he takes off his shoes when he gets home

The way he looks at you

When your eyes find his

The way he walks

Slowly, so as not to scare you

The way he kisses you

In gentle and sweet and eternal movements

The way he says "I love you"

And he really means it
