Después

After the fear and hope
after darkness and light
after time and distance
after everything, you arrive.
After laughter and sorrow
after the sky in full light
after the wind and the storm
in what way do you arrive.

There will be no more time wasted on the clock
nor more silence between your voice
for the night, your gaze instead of light
and then in the morning, only you in my pillow.

After attempts and words
of loneliness and crowds
after mirrors and glances
like a reflection, you arrive.
