Words of a Readaholic Firefly

Silvia. 19. Costa Rica. I love words, their sound, their taste, their feel. And I love sharing them with the ones who love them too.

People often cannot comprehend how far down their impact reaches. I can count the stubborn craters on my skin and recall the exact moment, the exact person, the exact measure of agony that caused them.

Él tenía nombre de poeta, pero el mar y la arena me robaron los suspiros antes que sus labios.

Él tenía voz de poeta, pero el calor de su piel abrazó mi cuerpo antes que sus palabras mis oídos.

Él tenía la figura de un poeta, pero la música dilató mis pupilas antes que sus dulces cuidados.

Él... él no tenía la voz, o el nombre, o la figura, pero sus palabras tomaron refugio entre mis manos. Mi abrazo se acunó en su cuello. Me leyó con ojos despiertos, ensimismado. Él creyó en mí, y en mis trazos no se esconde una sonrisa más auténtica que esa de complicidad, cuando mi tono alcanzó su deseo.

It took me to realize I do live me life as if I were living in a book. It’s my story. Only you and I are not just characters. We’re alive. You’re a person, alive, strong minded and with an unraveling future ahead. I am a person. With strong emotions and a story I want to tell someday.
