RELATIONSHIP

One day, a strange woman moved into my house.

One day, a strange woman moved into my house.

One day, a strange woman moved into my house. Like this, no notice, no boxes, no invitations or prior visits. I don't have the remotest idea who he is, where he comes from, nor at what moment he decided that this would also be his place.

Because I ... I didn't invite her.
I just know that one day came, knocked on my door..
and as soon as I opened it, it was in.
Without permission. No shame. No explanation.
Like Peter for his house... but with more history in the eyes.
He walked down the aisle slowly, but surely...
as one who recognizes every inch of the ground he steps on.
She scratched the wall with her fingertips, she sighed low...
and without asking me anything, he accommodated a flower pot that had been disturbing for years.
Years.
And she had to come.... to move what I never dared.
Out into the garden.
He stooped with difficulty — but with dignity —
and began to cut the dry branches.
Without a doubt. No nostalgia. No "I'll do it later".
As if I knew exactly what I was no longer alive...
and that was just taking up space.
And I... halt... looking at her...
not knowing at what point I stopped owning my own house.
She is an old woman.
But not just anybody.
He's one of those who don't need to raise their voice to impose themselves.
One of those when they are quiet... they say more.
Sometimes he hides away... it goes into the corners...
like he's playing hide and seek with me.
But just look at me in the mirror...
and there it is.
Right in front of me.
Entire.
Taking care of it all.
With more wrinkles.
With grayer hair.
With the cleanest look... calmer... more dangerous.
And she laughs at me.
He laughs off! The very condemned, sarcastic but tender
But not with sarcasm...
se ríe con esa ternura filosa…
as saying:
“oh, girl... if you only knew... ”
And yes... I have to say it...
it hurts me... but I love it:
she's more beautiful than me.
Because his is not looks... is presence.
Her wrinkles didn't wear her out... they wrote it down.
Every line on her face is a story that no longer weighs her.
Every reed is a war that no longer plans to repeat.
And he looks at me...
like telling me without words:
“I’m winning over you... but not as you think. ”
I been wanting to race her.
Shout out to him: " Hey! This is my home, my life, my space. ”
But she... he doesn't listen to yelling anymore.
The Worse... he doesn't care about them anymore.
He does what he wants.
And she doesn't even cooperate with the expenses, the blatant. On the contrary
Found money in a coat bag the other day....
then into a sweater.... then in a pants...
even between the cushions of the living room.
As if I grab it... i will watch it... and then say :
"ah, then i see that. ”
Went to the cashier... and of course... I had already retired.
Because she's worth a Reverend Peanut to run out of money. And he just sighs and says tomorrow God will say.
Although here we train, I see that she is a little cautious, because she keeps for her "just in case she takes care. ” But to me 
And that... that just pisses me off.
Because live like life is not a debt..
as if I'm not afraid of the "what if tomorrow... ”.
The food is disappearing.
Like this, no explanation.
You buy your creams for wrinkles, for hands...
that then it doesn't even get...
because it seems like it doesn't want to be corrected anymore...
just flirt.
She takes my pills...
is getting into my inbox..... in my cats...
fits in the room like a queen...
Grab the control... switch the channel for no fault... no strings attached...
and she falls asleep.
At peace.
At peace!
That woman lives...
but he lives beautifully.
Don't get punished.
It's not demanded until it's broken.
You don't abandon yourself to fulfill anyone.
And in the nights...
ayyy, in the nights !
There it is... sitting at my computer...
according to her "typing"...
but i see her...
laughing alone...
with his coffee —my coffee—
with his bread —my bread—
as if I'm celebrating something I still don't understand.
And then...
something falls on me.
Slowly... but true.
That woman ain't taking nothing from me.
It's not invading me.
He's not robbing me.
It's moving me around... yeah...
but of the version I'm not anymore.
Because without me realizing...
he been watching over me.
Little by little.
Carefully.
How to save things that have already fulfilled their time.
He left me in a corner...
while she occupies the whole house.
The living room.
The kitchen.
The silences.
The decisions.
Life.
And the strangest thing of all...
It's just that I don't have the courage.
It gives me... a strange peace.
Cause deep down...
i know perfectly well who he is.
That woman...
the one who does not ask for permission...
the one who doesn't apologize for existing...
she who spends, laughs, eats, sleeps, writes and lives without fear...
that woman...
it is me.
But without fear.
No rush.
Off the chains.
More Lived.
More broken... but more rebuilt.
More tired... but more free.
And even though I wanted to run it at first...
hoy... not anymore, I sat down with her to
Having that coffee.
Listen to her.
And if he lets it go...
learn from him.
