Recién

Just now, just now,
I return once again to your side with my life
hiding the failures,
concealing the wounds.
And today upon finding
the protection of your hands so serene,
just now I feel sorry
knowing that I hurt you.

I had fewer years
and a reckless heart
rolling clumsily
through streets of deceit.
You loved me, so much and so much,
that your sadness tired me out
and instead of hearing your cries
I preferred not to see you anymore.

Just now, just now,
I look at things without shadows or lies
and understand how much
life's lessons teach.
Today, upon returning,
I thought I would find the reproach of your forgetfulness
and only found the punishment
of all your forgiveness.
