Te Esperaba

I was waiting for you
And I saw my body grow
While I searched
For the name I gave you
In the mirror
I was the full moon in profile
With you inside, I was never so happy

I was dying to feel
Your fragile little legs
Kicking the darkness
Of my mature womb

Dreaming doesn't cost a thing
And with teary eyes
I saw you so tall
At the top of the world

I was waiting for you
Blindly imagining the color
Of your gaze and the tone of your voice

Terrified
I begged the sky to let you
Go far, much further than me

I was waiting for you
And I painted on the walls
Of your room colorful stories
Subtracting endlessly, days from the calendar
Only you could swear to me
The monkey on stage

The world is as it is
And I can't change it for you
But I will always follow you
To lend you a hand

I was waiting for you
Blindly imagining the color
Of your gaze and the tone of your voice

Now that I have you
I ask the sky to let me see you go far
Much further than me

I was waiting for you
And the mirror watched us while
I already loved you
