Cuéntame de tu vida (Extracto #1)

“¡Tengo miedo!” -gritó ella desde el fondo del calabozo.
”¿¡De qué!?” -preguntó una voz bastante familiar desde afuera.
“De que toda mi vida se componga de recuerdos nada más”. -dijo melancólica y de repente ya no estaba dentro, sino fuera. 

Se había convertido en lo que más temía, y terminó dándose cuenta de que la vida no es más que una contínua toma de fotografías, somos un álbum en construcción, tan solo somos recuerdos, y a la vez Somos Recuerdos & cuan grande es eso.

I always miss you.

- I miss you so much... She said with crying eyes.
- What about me? There was no one else in the world but you. He answered apparently angry.
- Why don't you just come back then? She looked at him curious.
- Do you really want me to come back? Do you know what that means? Can you love me as you used to again? He asked looking at her eyes.
- Just come back and we'll see what happens. She said with more calm.
- It doesn't work like that. I can't continue wasting my time in something that doesn't have a future... Do you understand that? He said now calmly but sad.
She just nodded, indeed she knew it was like he said but she just wasn't ready to let him go, because for her, he was more than what she could ever get to explain to anyone in the world, he was the weirdest feeling ever living inside of her walls.

- This is not healthy for you neither. Stop waiting for me when you know you're the one that have to come to me cause I didn't leave, you did. He said looking at her with wishing eyes.
- I decide whether it's healthy for me or not, you're not here anyways, I can stay with you forever. She said, now, mad.
- If you know I am not then why do you insist in staying with me? It's not me but a memory and you better than no one knows it's just your mind making castles in the air again. He said serious.
- I like those castles. She answered and started getting closer to him.
- What are you doing now? He asked surprised.
- Well, we were clear about my home is among your arms, there's no place like home when you're this empty, let me stay at home until forever, letting that forever on me. She said, capriciously as usual. 

And he just opened his arms, letting her feel welcome between them, letting her cry while thinking about all the things she was giving up on due to her selfishness, due to her insanity, due to her stupidity; because it was nothing but her longing of being free and fly high in the firmament that stopped her from running to him while smiling and screaming out loud how alive her love for him still was. Because he'd always be for her... everything she's not for him.

Without you... I am homeless.

Different worlds

Brussels, april 13th 2016 (01:00am)

So I started to understand you... And just as I thought the key for that was to know you and to know you further than your words, it was necessary to see it, listen to it, feel it all by myself, because even though I knew your name, where you come from and how is your life, actually I just knew your name & you know I even pronounce it as I please! 

At the end of the day you were right about so many things, but above all, when you mentioned the fact that it seemed we come from two different worlds, let me tell you that We Do Come From Different Worlds, Very Different!

Eterno

Ayer cuando escuche tu voz me fui desprendiendo a pedacitos de ti... 
de la misma manera en que lo hice cuando amenazaste con cambiarme, 
de la misma manera en que lo hice cuando dijiste adiós aquella mañana de septiembre.

Yo no tenía la capacidad de borrarte de una sola vez, 
porque corría peligro de morir desangrada en el intento, 
tenía que hacerlo a pedacitos... a ver si así no dolía tanto.
Sin embargo eres una herida abierta que amenaza con nunca cerrarse
& yo ya no sé qué poner en pos de curarme. 

“¡Ya deja a ese pobre hombre en paz!” Me repite una y otra vez mi madre, 
supongo que ella sabe más, pues ha sabido aconsejarme.
“No te ilusiones de más” decía mi abuela cada vez que de ti llegaba a hablarle, 
supongo que ella sabe más, pues ha sabido aconsejarme. 

Y este corazón mío, necio, necio, necio, tan necio como él solito; 
no supo parar la fuente de sentimientos 
que se avecinaba cada vez que sacabas cualquier cosita de tu pecho. 
¿Perdió mi mente la lucidez en esos días? 
¿O es que mi corazón se hizo el valiente y pintó todo de alegría?

Si al final del día ibas a estar ausente, 
mejor hubiera sido que nunca te hicieses presente;
ahora camino con el seno hundido como protegiéndome de la muerte,
los dolores pasados se achican, comparados con el dolor del presente.

Pero dejando de lado lo que lloro, lo que extraño y lo que aun amo 
de lo que hubo en nuestros tiempos de antaño, 
me alegra saberte bien, me alegra verte sano; 
la vida se vuelve menos pesada, menos preocupante, 
menos mala de hecho, al saberte aquí, al saberte eterno.

A tajitos de caña llegaste a mi vida ♪♫

Para que entiendan.

Y aquí estoy yo, haciendo malabares con tus ausencias... esas ausencias que dijiste un día nunca sufriría de ti, aun me pregunto si en algún momento te dignarás a volver, al menos para ser la sombra de lo que eras en mi vida, al menos para autoengañarme con el "todo está bien" tras verte nuevamente. Supongo que debería hacerme a la idea de que, dada tu personalidad, cabe la posibilidad de que no vuelvas nunca, nunca más; lastimosamente, dada mi personalidad también, cabe la posibilidad de que te espere siempre, para siempre, y como duele que no estés aquí.

Todavía me reprocho que te hayas ido, que te sirva de consuelo saber que me repocho más a mí de lo que reprocho al tú imaginario; y supongo que mis reproches están ligados a tus últimas palabras, esas donde me advertías que había sido yo, únicamente yo quién nos había empujado a ese hoyo abismal entre nosotros, donde no había más cabida para "nosotros" sino solamente para ti o para mí; lo más triste es que soy consciente de la verdad que encierran tus palabras, sé que al final del día fue mi decisión. 

Pero... ¿realmente teníamos que llegar a esto? Supongo que fue demasiado para ti, ese corte  doloroso que hice entre nosotros, lo hice según mi aguante y no el tuyo, todo lo viví, haciendo, según mis limitaciones y no las tuyas; al final del día siempre te dije cuan egoísta soy, supongo que eras tú quién entonces no quería verlo, no quería admitirlo ¿Cómo podrías admitir en mí semejante vileza? De alguna manera la ceguera no era solo mía, y la perdida no era solo yo.

Después de todo te faltaba imaginación para ver mis defectos en su totalidad, te faltaba algo constantemente, constantemente te faltaba algo, lo pasabas por alto y yo me daba cuenta, como siempre; pero me daba esa cuenta donde no puedo transmitir que está pasando, donde las palabras se ahogan dentro de mí, y ni con anzuelo logro sacarlas, hasta que un día se mueren y flotan por sí mismas como lo han hecho hoy por hoy, y entonces las recojo. 

Quisiera sacarme de adentro todo ese dolor con las palabras, no sé si algún día sepas comprender el rol que cumplen en mi vida y la eficacia de las mismas, nunca en toda mi existencia he visto yo cosa más eficiente que la palabra, las palabras te ayudan aunque sientas que son clavadas como flechas, en realidad purifican, en realidad clarifican las cosas. A que tengo razón, después de todo tus silencios nunca hicieron nada bueno por ti, no hicieron, no hacen, no harán... y tus silencios aun pesan.

Que hermoso hubiera sido decir con la misma facilidad que escribo, tantas cosas que no entendiste a su tiempo; debo admitir mi grado de culpa en ese asunto, debo admitir que no dije suficiente pese a tus constantes insistencias, pero te repito que no era yo eh ¡eran las palabras que se ahogaban! ¡se ahogan dentro de mí! y aunque tú te parabas a mi lado intentando sacarlas, no salían... no salían hasta que tras perecer flotaban, flotaban... flotan cuando ya no parecen tan necesarias. ¿Y quién sabe si las necesito o no? Las necesito, para que no se descompongan dentro de mí, para que no dañen por dentro, ya dañaron suficiente por fuera ausentándose. 

El otro día estaba hablando con ella y me dijo que lo echaba de menos, que quisiera hablar con él aunque sea un instante para saber cómo estaba, me dijo que no era por ella que quería hablar sino por él, porque estaba preocupada; me dijo que a pesar de todo y tanto lo amaba.... ¿Has hablado con él últimamente?

Para serte honesta creo que ella está mucho mejor hoy por hoy, pero hay días en que todavía llora, hay días en que la veo que no puede más; y me preocupa, pareciera que está a punto de perder la razón y de repente hay algo que la salva, tú que estás con él ¿Cómo ha manejado todo esto? Espero que le esté yendo bien, después de todo ella y yo somos conscientes de que hizo lo que pudo ¿él sabe que ella también lo intentó? Explicale tú lo que digo para que entiendan.

Just me, dreaming about you.

I had a dream. We were on a date, the first date of my whole life... And I was pretending I am not me, because if I would have been me, you wouldn't have gotten into a date since you don't even talk to me already; so I was acting like if I am someone else and apparently you believed me, because it seemed that you didn't know it was me neither... You couldn't recognize me. And I was so nervous about you finding out it was me, because I didn't want you to leave, all I wanted was to spend at least that one day by your side...

We were in a car, you were driving and we were talking and talking, but the topic I remember the most is: friends.

Me: So, do you have many friends?
You: Only two.
I was expecting you not to answer when I asked about who are them, this since you're a mysterious guy and I was a total stranger in the dream, but surprisingly you just answered:
Marta & Rita.
And it is amazing how you named exactly the two women I am jealous the most in your life.

I guess we were in my homecity because we went to my grandmother's house, which is weird because as you know I am not that close to my father's mom & she had pictures of baby me in her house, which is also weird because actually she doesn't. And I ran to you when I saw you looking at my baby pictures because I was so scared about you realizing about it was me, the girl you don't want to talk to, but you just said that I look cute in the picture and I should always wear like that, which means without covering myself like now.

Then I noticed you were pretending the whole time, you knew it was me... So making me jealous and saying that comment was all in purpose, you just did & said what you wanted and I got so angry; because you didn't have the guts to tell me those things straight in the face by admiting it was me who you were talking to and because you were acting like a real idiot towards me, but maybe I was acting like an idiot towards you as well.

When I woke up I just wanted to call you or write you or whatever, just to be able to reach you and tell you that I was mad at you so that you would apologize, so that you'll say we're fine, so that you'll calm myself down, so that you would so we're going to be alright like in the old times, but again, it was just a dream and the truth is that it has been three months (actually four in a couple of days more), since last time we talk and I am kind of sure about you don't want to talk to me at all so there was no chance of anything of this happening, it was just me you know? Me dreaming, dreaming about you, when you're already gone. 


Don't dream about me anymore, believe me, it's not healthy at all.

F&N


- Flavia! Daddy's home. –I screamed excited & I'm still not sure about who gets more excited over his arrival, if me or our 3 years old daughter; in any case the two of us where the happiest when he pass that door. 

Flavia seemed to be incredibly excited whenever her daddy come in, I wonder if she gets excited the same when I come or I just haven't noticed.... Since I got permission from my work to stay at home cause of my pregnancy, the biggest enjoyment of my day was to meet him, surely to play all the day long with my baby girl was exciting, but I could only see him a few minutes in the early morning & the night appeared so short to enjoy his presence, also Flavia wanted his attention so my time next to him was precious to me. Could it be possible that I was a tiny bit jealous of my precious daughter and my beloved husband? Due to the magnitude of my jealousy and possessiveness I guess the answer must be "yes".

He smiled brightly to us, like if he was actually happy to be at home, even after all the thing we have gone through to be here today, I hope my husband may feel lucky to be next to me as he used to feel in the beginning of our relationship. At least he was happy to be a father and to be next to Flavia, that was a fact. I just said hi to him with a small kiss and then left to the kitchen, to get the food ready for him while he was playing with his daughter, I guess he didn't know what a lovely father he would turn into, I imagined it. Once he got the food on the table, Flavia and I sat down to see him eating, Flavia ate already and I wasn't hungry, but we made him company and I let Flavia continue talking to him before I will put her on bed. 
After almost half an hour talking with her daddy, I decide it was late enough for my daughter.
- Let's go to bed, Flavia. –I said.
- Good night, daddy. I love you. –Flavia said and kissed her father's cheek.
- Good night, pretty. I love you too. –He answered while kissing her back.

I took Flavia to her bedroom, made her wash her teeth, changed her clothes and told her a princess' story since those were her favorites.
- I love you, little girl. –I said to Flavia before putting closing her bedroom's door.
- I love you, mommy. I love you, baby Nicholas. –She said and I fell in love with that tiny piece of human being that I brought yo this world.

How could it be my daughter was adorable to that extent? I thought and started laughing by remembering those times when her father and I were a couple and he may say to me all the kind of sweet stuff you can imagine, like I was the sweetest girl alive & I make him weak & more things, maybe he was right and Flavia took that after me, or maybe I was starting to believe in his words and my ego was traveling fast to my head; in any case, whatever the reason was, our daughter was enchanted. 

- How have you been today? –He said with a soft tone of voice and I just stared at him for some minutes to admire beauty, no matter what anyone says for me he was gorgeous, such a masterpiece of man: inside and outside. And I was the most blessed woman in the world to marry such an amazing guy. While I was lost in the view I felt a small kick in the stomach & I laughed thinking Nicholas was whether happy to see daddy or jealous, in any case he had to know mom belongs to dad.
- It was a good day, my love. How was work? –I asked trying to act calm, not to show how excited I was to be in his presence because even after 4 years of marriage and 3 years of knowing him I couldn't handle the amount of feelings that will knock on my heart whenever he was around. I could swear that was the scariest & most beautiful feeling ever.
- It was good, a bit tiring. –He said to me and I laid next to him in bed & put myself in my place, obviously among his arms, feeling his closeness & wondering if every single wife feels the way I feel when I am next to my husband. The real question was: why didn't I marry him sooner? I wasted so much time, just so much time! Even having such a long time apart, I nearly died in that period, couldn't nor want to ever go through the same hell again. I learnt my lesson and got enough, I didn't want a life without him, I couldn't even call such thing a life. I wonder if he feels the same...
