“The Hug”
“The Hug”
“In deep silence, with his hug, he said everything he needed to say. ‘I love you. I’ll look over you. Goodbye son.’ He was ready to meet God, so he left.”
“I Miss Her”
“I Miss Her”
The time without her continues to be a blur. Another year has passed and I still find myself searching for her. I miss her.
“Amor y Amistad”
“Amor y Amistad”
Día de San Valentín. Su origen lo desconozco. Su impacto en la sociedad y en la economía es obvió. Mas que celebrado, este día es muy comercializado.
Nuestra sociedad y los medios de comunicación nos hacen creer que el día 14 de Febrero, es día único y verdadero para que a nuestros seres queridos, con flores y regalos, les demostremos nuestro amor, amistad y afección.
La verdad es otra. Pues el cupido del amor lanza flechas día tras día y año tras año. Sin pensar que a nuestra pareja haremos daño, convenientemente interceptamos la flecha del cupido que nos lleva directamente al engaño.
Tristemente, muchos regalamos flores, diamantes, dulces, caricias y besos, solo después de hacer un gran daño.
Te has preguntado alguna vez, “Porque esperar hasta este día?” Si la respuesta es ‘Si’, te invito a que de hoy en adelante vivas tu vida como si cada día fuera el 14 de Febrero. Si lo haces, te darás cuenta que para demostrar nuestro amor y amistad, no hacen falta regalos ni es necesario el dinero.
“I Like It”
“I Like It”
Her ill-intended words are music to my ears. Her well-intended silence is always a stab to my heart and in the strangest way, it somehow soothes my deepest fears. I like it.
Do I love her that much or am I addicted to pain? Perhaps I simply don’t like to complain. If she asked, for her, I would end my life with a choke chain. This may bring fear to some, but I like it.
Strangers would argue that I’m mentally unstable and emotionally abused. Those who know me, are aware that my love for her is real. I love her with all of her defects. I love the pain she inflicts on me and the way it makes me feel. I really like it.
“When He Is in Love”
“When He Is in Love”
I am an old school woman with an east coast flare. He’s not here now, but I know he’s out there somewhere. When he is in love, day and night, he thinks of me. He longs to be by my side for he can’t imagine being elsewhere.
I am an endless romantic. When he is in love, for me, he tells me he will swim across the Atlantic. He brings me flowers daily and his love for me is plainly visible. When he is in love, I know that life without him would be unlivable.
When he is in love, he calls me minutes after our date. He does not wait days to tell me his time with me was great. He continually demonstrates that chivalry is not dead. He never lets his charm and good looks get to his head.
When he is in love, he is a true prince. Of his love for me, there is no one in this world I need to convince. He is genuine, kind, humble and respectful. He does not play games but with me, he is very playful. His love for me is real. Our connection, although invisible, is stronger than steel. I love his confidence and how his embrace makes me feel.
When he is in love, for me, I can feel his deep desire. Without speaking a word, he takes me by the hand and in his eyes, I see the reflection of our cozy and inviting fire.
When he is in love.
“Time Will Tell”
“Time Will Tell”
Will I ever stop missing you? Time will tell. I know one thing, what you and I had was real. For me, the gloom in June is real, for June third is always difficult, and it repeatedly seems surreal.
People say things happen for a reason. There are things I don’t believe in, and there are things I can’t explain. When Miss C came home, in more ways than one, she helped ease my pain.
I’ve been through some tough times. One after another. First I lost you, then I lost my mother. At times, my body aches, my mind tires but my heart keeps beating in search of fulfilling all of its desires.
Will I ever laugh the way I joyfully did with you? Time will tell. I’m optimistic. Regardless of how bad my situation, I never see it as a living hell.
It is said that all wounds take time to heal. What about my emotional scars? How long must they stay concealed? Will these one day be revealed? Time will tell.
I remember the fun times we had every May third. In silence, on that day, regardless of injury or surgery, I still celebrate our anniversary. Will this continue? Time will tell.
“For You”
“For You”
For you, there is nothing I wouldn’t give. My life, my blood, my soul. To regain your love, there is no wrong you can do that I would not forgive.
Yes, we are apart. That small detail reinforces that my love for you will forever remain engraved in my heart. The heartache of losing you is something I will never outlive. Even with all your rejections, from afar, I will be by your side as long as I live.
“Now”
“Now”
Now. The time to celebrate, love, hug, kiss, help or appreciate someone is now. Not when they are dead. By then, your name or any precious memories will no longer roam in their head. You will simply cry over their empty bed while you choke on all the words you wish you would have said.
You can choose to reach out now. Don’t know how? Ask a friend who’s lost a parent. They may show you how. When they reach out to you, give them your attention as there may be important and life changing things they would like to mention.
Enjoy their presence now. Tell them how much you appreciate them for who they are. A mistake we often make is to see someone only as a cash cow. If you are healthy and able, enjoy with them all that heaven and earth will allow.
Yes. The time is now. You might be right when you see nothing but blue skies ahead. Remember, death has a way of disguising a black cloud over our head. One minute we are enjoying life and the next minute we could be dead.
Why wait until someone is laying in a coffin to bring them a bouquet of roses or even a single flower? You can do so much more now. Don’t wait until their final hour.
The time is now. All we have is now.
