El Breve Espacio

There is still some moisture. Her fragrance is filling up
my loneliness. In the bed, her silhouette is drawn like a
promise to fulfill that little space where she is not anymore.
I don’t know if she will ever come back. No one knows what
is going to be the next day.
She breaks all my routine. She never confesses any pain.
She never asks anything in return for what she gives.
She is tender and violent at the same time.
She never talks about us together forever.
But, she gives as if there is only one day left to love.
She doesn’t share a reunion, but she loves the song
that put a commitment in her mind.
I don’t know if she is going to stay.
I’m so afraid to have “never” for an answer.
I prefer to share her with another than have all that emptiness
in my life.
She is not perfect, but she is the closest match to my most
wonderful dreams. For a Short Time
