(Fragment of “A afeição do olhar”)*
Does looking show the same
affection as kissing or hugging?
There is a kind of affection
without kissing or hugging,
but is it possible to have
affection without a regard,
without to turn the eyes upon
the loved one? Maybe
the affection shows better
in the eyes than in a kiss.
***
It is in looking someone
in the eyes that you may
get out of yourself and
expose your soul
to the person you love.
