A Decade

When you came, you were like red wine and honey,

And the taste of you burnt my mouth with its sweetness.

Now you are like morning bread,

Smooth and pleasant.

I hardly taste you at all for I know your savour,

But I am completely nourished.

 Una década

Cuando llegaste, eras como vino tinto y miel,

Y tu sabor quemaba mi boca con su dulzura.

Ahora eres como el pan de la mañana,

Suave y agradable.

Apenas te pruebo para conocer tu sabor,

Pero estoy completamente alimentada.
