Si Yo, Tú

If I, you,
If you fall, I with you,
and we will rise together
united in this.

If I get lost, find me.
If you get lost, I with you,
and together we will read in the stars
what our path is.
And if it doesn't exist, we will invent it.

If distance is forgetfulness,
I will make bridges with your hugs,
because what you and I have lived
are not chains...
not even ties:
it's the dream of any friend,
it's painting an 'I love you' in strokes,
and drying it in our lap.

If I, you.
If I doubt, you push me.
If you doubt, I understand you.
If I'm silent, listen to my gaze.
If you're silent, I'll read your gestures.

If you need me, whistle
and I will build a ladder
made with your last kisses,
to steal a star from the moon
and place it on your nightstand
to give you light.

If I, you.
If you, me too.
If I cry, laugh at me.
If you laugh, I will cry,
because we are the balance,
two halves that form a dream.

If I, you.
If you, with me.
And if you kneel down,
I will make the world lower,
to your measure,
because sometimes to keep growing
you have to bend down.

If you leave me, I will keep the flame alive
till you return,
and without questions, we will keep walking.
And unconditionally, I will keep forgiving you.
If you fall asleep, we will keep dreaming,
that time has not passed,
that the clock has stopped.

And if at any time the laughter
turns hard for you,
your tears dry up
and tenderness fades,
I will be by your side,
because I have always loved you,
because I have always cared for you.

But never heal yourself from loving me,
because love is like Don Quixote:
it only regains sanity
to die.
Love me in my madness,
because you are my straitjacket,
and that calms me
and that heals me...

If I, you.
If you, me.
Without you, nothing.
Without me, if you want, try.
