2AM

Son las 2 de la mañana y aun tengo un peso en la garganta 

Traté de librar me de el peso antes de dormir y nada 

Aun lo tengo y me pregunto como encontrar el alivio 

El alivio para poder respirar, dormir y hasta vivir 

Porque es algo que de alguna manera impide que piense en algo mas 

Entonces trato de ver si seré lo suficiente honesta conmigo para escribir las cosas que no te digo 

En primera esta que he notado algo 

Mientras tu te muestras vulnerable conmigo me mantengo reservada 

Trato de quedarme en un carril distinto al tuyo 

Pero la verdad es que me encantaría manejar contigo 

O por lo menos ser tu co-piloto confiando en el camino que eliges para los dos 

Y entonces porqué no me dejo llevar?

Pues porque pienso mucho las cosas y eso tu ya lo sabes

Sabes que por mas que quisiera no lo hago porque me cuido mucho 

No me arriesgo contigo por que me da miedo 

Me da miedo llegar muy lejos y luego no saber como regresar 

Me da miedo sentir mucho y no ser correspondida de la manera que me gustaría 

Con un amor bonito que quiera estar conmigo y ser parte de mi vida 

Por eso me mantengo al margen 

Porque has sido muy claro conmigo 

Te escucho cuando dices que no me puedes amar

Entonces ¿qué de la vida si no hay amor? 

¿Dónde esta la magia si el amor lo es todo?

Si sabes la respuesta, me dejas saber y me dices como lo haces 

Porque esa es una pregunta que yo aun no puedo responder 

Pero aunque no te lo diga, me parece que tu mas que nada te has dejado llevar y estas sintiendo mucho 

Y no sabes como esconderlo 

Esta siendo honesto contigo mismo y mostrando abiertamente lo que sientes

Entonces me da pesar porque yo no he hecho lo mismo 

Ni al frente de otros, ni a tu vera 

Igual te lo digo aunque ya lo sabes

Se me hace difícil decir te quiero 

Se me hace difícil creer en el amor 

Por mas extraño que parezca, pero es así 

Como que mas bien creo que existe para otras personas 

Pero dudo mucho de ese amor romántico 

Y tal vez no te lo diga lo suficiente, pero si siento algo por ti

Te quiero 

Así de sencillo 

Te quiero cuando me miras, cuando me abrazas

Te quiero cuando me preguntas por lo que es importante para mi 

Te quiero cuando me dices algo bonito 

Pero quererme puede ser un reto 

Para deshacer lo que me ha causado dolor 

Y mostrarme que no hay nada malo en mostrarse vulnerable 

Y que si duele no será para siempre 

Y darme razón para confiar 

No se que te parezca 

Aun no te lo he dicho…

When

Thinking back she couldn’t remember the first time she saw him 

As much as she tried, it wasn’t something she could place 

She did remember the peach blocked hoodie he wore in place of an actual coat 

A little big for a man of his stature is what she thought as it enveloped him in warmth as the cold winter air danced outside 

He would wink at her and she made nothing of it 

He would attempt to flirt with her and she would ignore it

He was as persistent as her ‘no’s’ 

He seriously asked if he could take her out

To which she giggled at the surprised reaction to those around him 

It wasn’t expected 

And still she didn’t answer 

He went on to hold her against his body 

Tight to his chest he asked someone what they thought of them together

He wanted affirmation of how nice he found them to be

But his question was returned with a blank expression 

One that didn’t care to answer the question 

And she laughed, not because of the question, but because of the stare 

Did he notice anything different?

Was he in a bubble while he held her?

Did he avoid the thought that perhaps he shouldn’t have asked?

She didn’t know and didn’t ask 

She simply noticed the reactions to his questions when it came to her 

But she didn’t think about him 

She didn’t know why he asked others and not her 

She didn’t understand anything that he may have felt when he saw her

But she still tried to avoid him until one day she didn’t 

She tried but that day he won 

It was just the two of them and he was close to her 

So close that she could feel his chest rise with each breath 

She looked at him and he looked at her lips 

He leaned in and she didn’t resist 

As his lips enclosed over her’s they both pulled away 

A reflex she didn’t expect from either one 

It happened though 

Marking something between the two that would stay forever 

Because it was a beginning…

Non Date

I don’t know if it was a date

Because, what dictates if something is a date?

Why can’t it just be called an outing with a friend 

Perhaps during the first outing we just flirt and hope to say sweet nothings 

But no, not on the first rendezvous 

Something must be left for the next time…

And so on this first not date we sat down and talked 

About so many things I was surprised and pleasantly taken aback 

It was the first time in a long time that the conversation was so good 

In the sense that it was clear 

We talked about life, religion and health 

No romance at all

And it was nice 

It was nice to simply talk without trying to flirt 

It was nice to have an intelligent conversation 

Without someone trying to lay a hand on my thigh 

And when we said goodbye 

There was no kiss on the lips 

It was simple and open 

An I hope to see you soon because this was nice 

Because this was fun

I liked it so much that if it doesn’t happen again 

I wouldn’t be able to despair 

Because for the first time in a long time, I’m not left wondering 

I’m not left out to think about the what if’s 

I simply think about what happened and how nice it was

Accepting the present and enjoying the moment 

And I have him to thank for that…
