Raíz En El Pecho

I used to think that love
Was losing myself in someone else
That love was a cage with promises of salt

But you came in slowly
Without asking me to stay
You taught me that two souls
Don’t bind, they accompany

And if I tremble, it’s not from fear
It’s that no one ever looked at me like this
Like I was home
Without having to run away

If one day I stop breathing
Find me in what I’ve sown
In the laughter I leave you

In the way I loved you
May our roots intertwine
When the body is no longer here

I don’t die if I stay alive
In you and you in my skin

I was my doubts, I was my noise
I was my own enemy

You were silence when
Everything screamed with me
You didn’t save my life
But you taught me how to care for it

To run from the mirror to stay
When my soul ached
If time breaks on us
Don’t try to fix it

There are loves so big that
They don’t fit in the end

Bury me in your hands
If the world wants to let me go
That love isn’t forever
But it hurts less if it’s real
