Abuela's eyes taught me so much,
She didn't have to say much just look at me.
She would often tell me tales that one day sounded like fantasy
and eventually turned into reality.
I froze at the age that many started to walk.

To unlearn what I once learned even if to others I was a "misfit".
Did not expect me to become the norm or what the entire world once predicted.

Her eyes were a piece of heaven that are no longer on earth.

Many knew her for her kind gestures but I knew her for her secret.
She felt like she could give to everyone and never noticed what I noticed most, her eyes.
so simple yet so mystic.

Dejé huellas en una pared a la que quizás nunca volveré.
Abuelitos se aseguraron de dejarme cada palabra necesaria para sobrevivir sin ellos.
Al principio no procesé que cada abrazo y regalo era un presagio del futuro.
¿Como podría olvidarlo?
Adormeciendo su existencia durante años;
caminando por un camino que estaba lejos del de ellos.
Mientras escribo, uno se detiene y uno continúa.
No sabía que cada palabra era un enigma, de lo contrario habría hecho más preguntas.
Pasos, uno se detiene y uno continúa.
Los dejo ir todos los días para seguir entendiendo los pasos.

In pens’ ancient dance,
syllables twirl, rhythm breaks
not quite five-seven-five.

Here's my simple life
diamond spinning in a whirl
Up, down, hop on Pop
where's my little girl?

Drunk as hummingbirds
We flirt around flowers

Stay by my side
Listen to my troubles

Be there for me as I am for you

Give me a shoulder to cry on
Open arms to rest against
An open heart to shield me
From even my own fears

Fill me with warm reassurance
Of a promising future

Hear unspoken words
And I will listen to the beat of your heart
Though that is what we do
You and I

Listen
Talk
Stay close

My Soulmate

cuz I got you in my pocket and I'm not gonna say,
that if I put you in a locket my heart wont stay,

so give me that shine, take the day away,
cuz baby all i do is pray,

oh my darlin, I swear that I'd never say,
go ahead and stay away, cuz I'll give you my heart,
and you can lock it away, just don't make me pray.
