Mi chiquito

Alguna vez quisiera encontrarte por la calle y poder decirte lo siguiente. Es lo más largo que he aprendido a decir en inglés:

Eres un niño muy consentido por tu mamá y por mí, incluso cuando alguna vez creí que me gustaba ser el único.

Siempre odié que tomaras todo como si fuera un regaño.

Ahora sí:

There was never anything wrong with you.

You were my first love, from the moment you took my hand as we walked down the street.

I haven’t gone back to my parents’ house since. That was our place whenever we wanted to escape the city.

I was carrying around a humiliating past.

We were young and foolish. You were so young, and I was only just beginning to grow up.

I hope life gives us a second chance.

Or maybe in another life, when we’re both different people.

For now, I don’t feel the need to fall in love again. I’ve tried. I’ve been there and back, and nothing really completes me. So for now, I’d rather be alone.

Usted es y será por siempre mi chiquito.
