Carta De Un Niño Que Nunca Nació

Listen to me mommy:
I never spoke to you
and maybe we never will;
but today I wanted to greet you.
How are you?
I have noticed you are very restless
and I know you have decided to separate from me.

I have cried a lot,
because even though I am very tiny,
I have immensely big feelings
and you know it.
They have told me that life is very beautiful,
even though you live cursing yours.

Before you leave me
I wanted to ask you something:
Why were you ashamed of me?
Why do you blush in front of your friends?
Am I not your son?
Am I not blood of your blood,
body of your body, and soul of your soul?

But even though very soon
my little heart will stop beating next to yours,
I will always continue living in your memory
and in your conscience.
I would have liked to become your son,
your friend, your companion,
the reason for your dreams
and the breath of your life;
but you did not want it.

After this
I don't have much to tell you;
just that,
I had grown fond of you mommy,
but it's sad and the time has come.
Now just let me
press my lips against
the deepest part of your womb,
so that you can never
let go of this kiss and this goodbye.

Because, even though we never became friends,
even though I never saw your face and never will,
remember that I will always keep calling you...Mommy..!
