I  love  you  Mar  del  Plata
     for all the  cities  that  I don't.
     I  love  you  for  the  times
     that I've  lived  here.


     Because  you  are  the  smell of  the
     first  croissant  in  the  morning
     and  the  essence  of  salty  air  in
     the  first  flower,too.


     I  love  you  because  I  need  your  love
     I  love  you  for  all the  cities  that  I don't.


     Your  wide  sea  is  my  mirror
     and  without  it I  see  a  desert between
     the  past  and  the  present,where  there
     were  many  deaths  that  I  left  in  your  shores.


     Here,I  learned  how  the  real  life  is,
     word  by  word  how  I  can  forget.


     I  love  your  spellbound  in  each
     sunny  morning,where  everybody
     can  watch  the  eternity.


     You  are  the  huge  sun  getting
     my  head  up  where  I'm  sure
     of  myself.

     Adriana  Eva  Boveri.
