Breathe...
In the inhale
I was laying in my death bed, surrounded by family.
In the exhale,
I was standing in the river surrounded by chaos.
the screams,
the cries,
the thundering gallops in the distance,
This,
was not heaven,
This,
was not hell.
This,
was not even the nightmares
that have plagued my nights.
This was real.
This was reality.
I was back.
At first, my vision was hazy, blobs of color dancing in front of me like a shadow puppet theater.
But as my sight became clearer with each passing second,
my heart wretched.
Pedro
I was like a man in the desert who finds an oasis, delirious with joy but filled with so much hope.
I hungrily devoured the sight before me
He is living....
He is breathing....
He is alive....
My Pedro
Astonishment and longing fill my heart as I watch him tenderly place kisses on our children.
I don't move or blink.
Too afraid that this would reveal itself as an illusion or figment of my imagination.
That was until his eyes connected with mine.
"Dos orugruitas enamoradas"
"Two little caterpillars in love"
"Pedro" His name leaves my lips in an inaudible whisper.
"Oh, meu amor" a breathless reply caresses my ears, immediately bringing trembles across my body.
I blink rapidly as tears threaten to cloud my vision.
His hand already reaching toward me.
He cups my cheek, gently brushing away my tears.
Instinctively I shut my eyes as his warmth melts into my skin, my lungs working fiercely to take in his scent.
"Mientras se abrazen con sentimiento"
"As they hold each other with warmth and feelings"
I almost collapse when his lips brush mine.
Soft and warm, gliding across the smooth surface.
Our breath collides as we gasp for air.
