Valentine’s Day 2010. The day Marco had to leave. The day my lovely new world seemed to stop turning.

We spent 50 years searching for each other and now we would have to be apart until mid-June when I could join him in our next home.

Only four months? It felt like a lifetime….an eternity. The hardest thing I have ever done was walk away from that bus station all alone.

I cried rivers of tears. I knew that Marco was with me, part of me, but he himself was not there. He had given me energy; I gave him tranquility. But the first days apart all I felt was that he was gone from my side and I was alone with a broken heart.

Then he made this video. And I learned to fly.

Life is unpredictable but in our first separation, the physical distance forced upon us will not be allowed to destroy the sweet love that in such a short time helped us to create our magic world.

Joined by our thoughts, our feelings and in company with the stars and the moon, we have a link that helps us fly and come together in a part of the Universe.

This helps strengthen us to wait patiently for our desired re-encounter that seems so near yet so far away.

Mountains, deserts, seas: no obstacle will prevent our love from maturing.

Optimism and confidence prevail in our hearts.

We know that our dreams soon will be reality.

"Por Ti Volaré"

By Andrea Bocelli

Year Released 1996

Album Romanza

Cuando vivo solo
Sueño un horizonte
Falto de palabras.

En la sombra y entre luces
Todo es negro para mi mirada
Si tu no estás junto a mí...aquí.

Tú
En tu mundo
Separado del mio por un abismo.

Oye
Llamame
Yo volaré
A tu mundo lejano.

Por ti volaré
Espera que llegaré
Mi fin de trayecto eres tú
Para vivirlo los dos

Por ti volaré
Por cielos y mares
Hasta tu amor.

Abriendo los ojos por fin
Contigo viviré.
Cuando estás lejana
Sueño un horizonte
Falto de palabras.

Y yo sé que simpre estás ahí, ahí,
Una luna hecha para mí,
Siempre iluminada para mí,
Por mí, por mí, por mí.

Por ti volaré
Espera que llegaré
Mi fin de trayecto eres tú
Contigo yo viviré
Por ti volaré
Por cielos y mares
Hasta tu amor.

Abriendo los ojos por fin
Contigo yo viviré.
Por ti volaré
Por cielos y mares
Hasta tu amor.

Abriendo los ojos por fin
Contigo yo viviré.
Por ti volaré...
