The day you came
It was 11pm
I had just finished watching Role Models.
We went home
I made my usual turkey, cheese, mayonnaise sandwich.
I ate it like it was my last meal with some orange juice.
I laid my head on my pillow exhausted because of all the running around wondering when will you come…
I felt you push
I heard you scream
Telling me I want to see these voices I keep hearing
I rushed in the car with you, Buela and Poppa
Taking note of how often it happened in my “What to expect while you’re pregnant” book.
A few hours passed and nothing had happened.
I always wondered how it would be when you finally come out.
How I would react to your arrival?
So many questions I wanted to be answered…
When you finally came
Tears came down
These tears were of pure happiness
The kind of happiness that you could only bring me
You came out fighting
I hope you keep your fighting spirit
It doesn’t bother me
To hear the tik and the tok of a clock
It’s the opposite
A pleasure from the constant noise just makes me wanna hear it even more
Sitting in my bed
Tik, tok, tik, tok, tik, tok….
Then it becomes apart of me
One, together
Silence…….
I really don’t understand
I really don’t care
The little pleasures
I wrote this especially for you
I really miss you and I hope you do too
Never shall I kiss someone else’s lips
After kissing you, I have yet come to grips
Meeting you was like winning the grand prize
A few weeks later, my heart rate was on the rise
Words cannot express
How you’ve captured my heart with success
We met each other sometime ago
It was the tenth time we said “Hello”
I would like to meet you without delay
This Revolución is for you, I hope you like it
I am dying to see your reaction, that I will admit
This poem has come to an end
I look forward to our next event
