In the gentle whispers of the breeze
Escucha, mi amor
Let me guide you with ease

Para amarme bien
Here’s what you must know
Escucha mi corazón, let it flow

First, listen closely to my silent cries
En mis palabras, encuentras mi alma, my guise

Understand my fears, my hopes, my dreams
Mis miedos, mis anhelos, mis extremes

Give me space to breathe
Let me roam free
Libertad y confianza
That’s what I plea

Hold me close when I’m in need
Un abrazo cálido
Eso es lo que me sed

Speak to me with kindness
Stroke my hair
Con palabras dulces
Amor, handle with care

For words have power to heal or to hurt
Con ternura y respeto
Let love assert

Patience, oh dear, is a virtue so rare
La paciencia es clave
My heart to ensnare

For I may stumble
I may fall
Pero contigo, amor
I’ll stand tall

Celebrate my quirks, my flaws, my light
Mis rarezas, mis defectos, mi delight

For in every imperfection
There lies beauty
En cada detalle
Encuentras mi verdad, my duty

So love me tender
Love me true
Ámame con pasión
With all that you do

And I’ll love you back
In every way
Por siempre y para siempre
Juntos, we’ll stay

These poems serve two purposes… 1) The clarity they provide me. And the greatest reason I feel compelled to share.. 2) For you to experience the “we.”
