Por ti, yo

My silence tells you everything
But I'll still say it for you, you know
I don't say I love you just to say it, I mean it, it's written in stone
I leave you the warm bread and my turn in line

I write you a map back on the fridge, yes
If your world falls apart, I'll hold it up, unharmed
I learned from life that loving means seeing good in people
That true luxury is whoever takes away your shadow

I watch you when you're quiet, that's where I stay
The street noise doesn't compete with my beliefs
I'm not a seasonal flower or a promise in my song
I'm hands that appear when your spirit fades

If the day turns against you, I'll change the song
If your memory trembles, I'll hold your heart tight

For you, I sweep away the sky of doubts
I learn your language and I cure your muteness
For you, I walk barefoot through the night
If fear bites you, I bite back at its waste

For you, I pray, laugh, and stay
My love is service, promise, and tender bread
For you, I do it without noise, with truth
Always us first

If you lack faith, I'll lend you mine
If I lack air, you'll lend me your poetry
I know how to have your back when the world shrinks for you
I know how to say rest when you can't keep up

I'll give you a bike ride even if the sky is heavy
I'll save your midday even if it arrives too late
I'll fill your tank, love, with small proofs
Your name in my notebook, your laughter in my patience

I don't give long speeches, I make a home in the small things
A glass with your name, two sheets, one dream
I'm not one of those fireflies that go out at two
I'm morning coffee when the cold calls for you

If your memory bleeds, I'll make a bandage with my voice
If victory weighs you down, I'll celebrate it for both of us

For you, I sweep away the sky of doubts
I learn your language and I cure your muteness
For you, I walk barefoot through the night
If your world trembles, I'll hold it up against the waste

For you, I pray, laugh, and stay
My love is service, promise, and tender bread
For you, I swear it again
I choose myself too, so I can choose you

I don't give what I don't have, I take care of myself to take care of you
I learned that sacrifice without soul is just noise
And that loving beautifully means giving each other shared space
I don't get lost in your storm, I accompany you with an umbrella

If you don't see the rainbow, I'll paint it with my water
And if one day I stumble on my own scars
I'll get up with your hand, and love will heal us

I promise not to save you if you have to learn
I promise not to skip ahead if you need to go back
I promise not to be an anchor when you want to grow
And if the path hurts, you'll see me flourish

If your mirrors tremble, I'll look at you in my reflection
If the ladder fails you, I'll become your rung
If life demands it, we'll pay with work
If destiny divides us, may the same hug bring us together

May tenderness not be lacking, may reason not be in excess
May the heart decide what's fair for the mind
I didn't come to impress you, I came to accompany you
To place my shadow at the height of your dream

For you, I do it without noise, with truth
For you, for you, yes
I grab the sky of doubts, I learn your language, I cure your muteness

For you, I cross the avenue on foot
If the day accuses you, I'll give you an alibi and life
For you, I pray, laugh, and stay
My love is service, promise, and tender bread

For you, and for me too
So it's always good and not just support
With what? With a home
With whom? With you
Until when? Until we're old

If you lack the Sun today, I'll light the fire
For you
