I Love You

 I love you. I know, I know you don't love me and that's okay because I love you. I do not mean that in the "I want you all to myself" kind of way or the "please love me back" kind of way. I mean it in a selfless way. I love you. 

I love you in the way that I am both mesmerized by you and at the same time humbled by your very presence. I love you. So you don't have to say it back because when I say I love you is just me being overwhelmed by your sole existence and feeling the need to remind you how incredible you are. 

I love you.

Estaban sentados en la banca de siempre, en el Parque Bustamente. Justo frente al Skate Park. Eran ya pasadas las 10 de la noche. y habian caminado de Irarrazabal a Baquedano dos veces, como usualmente lo hacían. Ella estaba terminando una historia, cuando de repente el se le queda mirando y le acaricia el pelo. 

- ¿Qué?, le preguntó sonriendo.

- Nada... es que te eché de menos, le respondió él sonriendo. 

- Oh, jaja..., dijo desviando la mirada - la verdad es que yo también. Allá en la beca no tenía a nadie con quien salir a caminar de noche, así que tenía que caminar sola y no es lo mismo. Me faltaba alguien con quien conversar, a quien escuchar. Porque tengo amigos que escuchan harto, pero termino hablando solo yo y eso no me gusta mucho. Tú hablas harto, y eso sí me gusta. Me gusta escucharte. Yo también te eché de menos. 

El siguió acariciandole el cabello y tratando de memorizar cada facción de su rostro, casi cayendo en un estado de hipnosis. De repente, vuelve en sí y dice. 

- Okay, I just have to say it because you are not giving me any vibes. 

- What? she laughed 

-  I just have to say it and I have to say it in English because I don't know how else to say it. 

- Okay... 

- I don't know if you want me to, but I want to. I want to kiss you. Right now. I missed you. And I didn't just miss you for the walks or for the sex. I missed you. And it makes me nuts to wait and see if this is it or not so I'll just ask you. Do you want to go out with me? Like, out to a restaurant, out on a date. Go out. Put-on-a.fancy-dress-and high-heels and let-me-kiss-you-before-you-go-home go out and do all that romantic movie things because I am a romantic guy although I try not to look like it but--- 

- Yes, she interrupted. 

- Yes? -  his heart skipped a beat. 

- Yes, I would love to go out with you. I am also all sorts of romantic movie stuff kinda girl, so yes. 

And I want you to kiss me right now. I do not want to wait until I go home because when I am with you I never want to go home. 


I never want to go home.
