To be by your side (Poetic prose)

For my wife: María Eugenia Espinoza de Hernandez

Being by your side has been an ineffable experience, a birth and rebirth in every second spent walking towards the limit of love, exploring the colors that are not found in the rainbow and the time that has not yet been invented.

It has been a journey into the depths of the soul, with no need for transport to take us to it, a palpitation that transgresses the senses and obscures the fears of failure, giving the wings the power not only to fly but also to move into immaterial spaces where the shelter of the arms is the end of the road.

Being by your side for so many decades has been a victory for the desire for immortality that intoxicates and closes in on hopes, giving them the consistency of air and the weight of the atom, variants that fade before the reality that there is an end time for everything.

It has been a divine chalice that we have lived without caring that pain will one day appear and separate us, but it will not make its lieutenant oblivion embrace us with its hypocrisy.

It has been an experience that has taken me to the vortex of imagination, to the extreme where thoughts and ideas mingle in moments where immortality ceases to be a utopia or a way of perpetuating each kiss, embrace, caress or instant in which bodies learned that passion is not the opposite of aversion, but of lying.

Being by your side has managed to transform the universe I knew, to understand that love is not the sum of convergent or divergent criteria but the mixture of pragmatism and patience, of dementia and reason, of delirium and intuition.

He has managed to make me an argonaut of life, Odysseus in the search for the happiness that comes from accompanying you in every minute so that it stops being banal or everyday.

He has managed to detach me from the armour that protects me from the unreasonable things that are like puzzle pieces that torment us and do not allow us to solve them.

Being by your side has been discovering that you can be mine and I can be yours without the need to own each other.

Understand that it is possible to be one even if we are two, because mathematics does not work when feelings are pure.

Being by your side has been and always will be the fullness of love that matures without aging, because there are no chronological parameters that manage to wither the pleasure of being together.
