Vanessa, your name is famous and has many beautiful meanings, It signifies the fragrance of roses, and like that fragrance, this letter is for you. I haven’t been able to go to you, my love. How I long to be by your side! Like a plant wants rain, so do I need you. These days seem to drag on forever. How miserable it is to be far from the one you love. Our feelings have become so strong that you can’t hold back the tears. The pain in our hearts is so profound that it seems like an intense drought, It seems like the plants will never flower and their leaves will stay dry. Oh, my love! How I long to be by your side. Like the great hunger that people feel, like children you who cry and their mothers, too Because they have nothing to feed them. My love! Forgive my handwriting, but my hands are trembling. Please Also forgive the stains on the paper, they are from the tears that I shed because I can’t be with you. I sigh and moan from the pain. Oh, my love! When will I be there with you? Time passes on, and I don’t know. How strong are my sighs, how great is my affliction. I can’t take it anymore, my hands can’t even hold the pen that I’m writing to you with. All I can tell you is that I wrote these poems for you. Enjoy them, my love, because they tell you about my kisses, As well as my affection and everything that I feel for you. Take all my kisses and receive my affection, because I’m writing to you with the earnestness of a child. I love you! From your sweet heart, Jose Carlos.
