We make a toast

And sip champagne 

And someone else offers ‘’Salúd!’

And raises the name

As glasses clink 

And happiness 

Effervesces 

And I’m with you

Your knowing eyes

Sparkle

I drink in

The living sight of you

The fiery way you blaze

Through the night

Not like a falling star

But a bright comet

On its way

To some far-off heavy destination

And I’m here

With you

Because 

You know me

You know my secret sacred identity 

As well as I know yours
