Love Letters

Today at Holy Experience the topic is:  How to write love letters?

I am not much of an expert on this topic.  When ever I want to express my feelings and can't find the words or the courage to express them, I use songs.  Songs are a form of love letters.  Poems are too.

There is a song in Spanish that my husband and I love.  The artist is Gloria Estefan.  The song, Con Los Años que me Quedan. ( With the years that remain for me)

We both had heard this song before, but the day we both heard it together at a marriage retreat, the words seemed to be the right words to express to each other.  Tears rolled down my cheeks and it was as if I had fallen in love with my husband all over again. 

Here is the English translation of the song.

With the years that remain for me

I know i still have an opportunity

I know it's not late to reconsider

I know our love is true

with the years that remain for me

I' ll demonstrate you how much I love you.

with the years that remain for me

I will live to give you love

Erasing every pain

with kisses full of passion

like I loved you the first time



With the years that remain for me

I'll make you forget any mistake

I didn't meant to hurt you, my love

you know you're my adoration

and will be my whole life

I can't imagine living without you

I don't want to remember how I lost you

maybe it was immaturity from myself

I didn't knew how to love you



I assure you that with the years I have left to live

(with the years I have left)

I am going to dedicate them to you (to you)

Make you so happy

that you fall more in love with me

I will love you until I die

How to prove that I am not who I used to be

time will tell you, if you have faith in me

that how I loved you

nobody else

will ever love you

tell me it is not the end



I know i still have an opportunity

I know it's not late to reconsider

I know our love is true

with the years that remain for me

I' ll demonstrate, how much I love you.



I know our love is true

and with the year that remain for me

I'll demonstrate, how much I love you

  1. What beautiful lyrics. Yes, we often use songs as love letters, don't we? I'm glad that you wrote about it.
