Your Love is Everywhere

2023 Havana, Cuba
2023 Havana, Cuba
You soften me up
With your existence,
Butter me up
With your eyes,
Destroy my walls
With your smile.
You
Are
Power.
When I wrote
My ideal
And prayed for love,
I didn’t know
Of the sacrifices
That would
Come.
I wonder,
If she were still
Here,
What would be
Of us?
I imagine a world
Where you both laugh
At my jokes,
At me,
My clumsiness,
Ideas,
Movements.
Where I have both at once:
My cake
And satisfaction,
Too.
I see her
In you.
With your words,
And your midnight
Cup of milk.
“You sound just like my mom”
Is no longer a coincidence.
She reminds me
She’s here,
In my moments
Of joy.
In this grief,
alongside your love,
I feel peace knowing
Her presence
Is never
Gone.
