You had an air about you,
sophisticated some would say
yet down-to-earth
with your cultural wristbands.
Everyone called you
the life of the party,
but I knew how stressed you felt
running your own business.
You came to me exhausted
and lied next to me,
catching your breath.
Your touch was gentle;
your kiss was slow.
Then in a haste,
you entered me.
Your face had changed-
a soft smile turned
into an intense stare.
You lost yourself inside me,
and I was happy to give you
that release.
To give you something you needed,
to get through your long days
like you did for me.
Our witty banter
kept my demons at bay
for those weeks.
And for that,
I am grateful:
For those sweet messages,
the midday laughs,
and the way
you called me "Muñeca".
