Each moment entwined in embrace
is shrouded with mystery
When you receive me, you hug me
as if you’re trying to convey
more than “hello” as you greet me
Voices cry out in my mind…ooh Papi!
Damn, Papi Chulo!
It’s unbeknownst to you
what you’re doing to me
Wild rides of emotion
as we touch
When you depart from me
I wonder if you can hear
my heart calling out to you
Papi! Papi!
Damn, Papi Chulo!
If he only knew
I wonder what he would do
I find myself the weakest
When it’s only him and I in the room
And he’s wrapping words in español
As if he’s not the only one that’s bilingual
So I smile
I smile, so wide
Trying to hide my Achilles’
Avoiding contact with his eyes
Praying he doesn’t hear my heart as it cries
Ooh Papi!
Damn, Papi Chulo!
