103. The contradiction of You

You are a free soul

but you caught me

and now 

I'm living trapped

inside you

Many times

I stood watching 

marveled

how your dark clothes

uselessly

attempted to eclipse

the brightness of 

your smile

I just wanted 

to dip my toe

to test the waters

but I drowned

in the depths of your eyes

With hammer and chissel

I slowly 

made a crack

in the shell that covers you

but I ended up broken

Many times

I tried to lighten the weight

you carry over your shoulders

but I became 

a burden

When I was hyped

you knew how to slow me down

to an ideal tempo

so our glances 

could slow dance

I know

you loved me

in the way you could

and that

I will always

cherish

The way

in which I love you

knows no space 

or time

I love you whenever and wherever

I always carry you with me

and I'm by your side

in every instant

in every boring Sunday

and every endless Wednesday

I just have to put

my hand over the left side

of my chest

to feel you with me

I loved you in a crowd

but I loved you better

when we were alone

I was born again in your arms

and I died between your legs

I love you 

with no strings attached

unconditionally

and without an expiration date

And because of that

I'd be genuinely happy

just by knowing

you are happy

In some paralel line

of this story

in an alternate universe

there's a little girl

who's still lying

with her eyes shut

waiting to be woken up

And in another line

I'm waking up one morning

with the aroma of coffe and bread

ascending through

every wrinkle

that time has made

in my face

drenching my already gray hair

When suddendly

your image

sits next to me

unannounced

arriving from

wherever you might be

at that time

and reminds me

how wonderful life is

after knowing your 

existence

It could happen

in any moment

of any day

of any year

It could happen

for example

one morning

of any given Tuesday

of December
