"Video Game Romance"

I am wanderlust,
and yellow wool,
and oak saplings,
and obsidian,
and you are

“Anhelo”
By Andy Beach
Translated by Ashly Hartmann and Joan Lefebvre (Spanish IV Students)
Anhelo una caricia dulce de ti
Una mirada gentil de tus ojos
Una palabra amable de tu corazón
Que acerque mi alma.
Anhelo abrazarte
Y tenerte cerca de mi corazón
Para sentir tu respiro sobre mi cuello
Y compartir mis pensamientos íntimos.
Anhelo caminar contigo a mi lado
Y sentir tu mano en la mía
Para explorar juntos nuestros sueños
Y tocar las estrellas en el cielo.
Para despertarte conmigo a mi lado
Para despertarte de tus sueños
Con besos y una caricia gentil
Y susurrar que te amo.

“I Long”
By Andy Beach
I long for a sweet touch from you
A gentle look from your eyes
A kind word from your heart
That reaches my very soul.
I long to wrap my arms around you
And hold you close to my heart
To feel your breath upon my neck
And share my innermost thoughts.
I long to walk with you beside me
And feel your hand in mine
To explore our dreams together
And touch the stars in heaven.
To wake up with me beside you
To stir you from your sleep
With kisses and a gentle touch
And whisper I love you.
