I Lived

In the smallest corner of my house,

between four walls and an endless bedroom, I saw it all.

I saw my life go by, grow and reborn. 

I watched as my universe expanded, and with all of its infinity I learned about the infinity of my own existence.

I saw my parents fly planes

I saw as my hands as I caressed the stuffed animals in my room

I saw my mother with a baby in her arms

I saw myself in my bed, in middle of the night, crying

I saw my school, which taught me everything

I saw the arrival and departure of my pets

I saw my brother play

I saw my best friend grow

I saw my mistakes

I saw myself writing

 

I saw the stars in the night sky, while I dreamt with a sky with that infinity that only stars have

I saw hugs, fights

I saw my grandmother's tenderness 

I saw my mother smile, my dad's strong voice

 

I saw myself

I saw myself complete, surrounded and sometimes sad.

 

And in those moments of sadness, despite this despair I didn't feel alone

 

Because I saw myself grow, I saw myself give, I saw myself learn

And I saw myself live
