THAT LETTER
I want to introduce myself. I want to tell you my name; I like sweet
popcorn when I am alone and salt when I go to the movies with friends. And I
never look at the time but you will see me always throwing glances at the clock.
Once time, my friend told me that it was because I always want to go against
the clock and that makes me time each special moment. I'm not a bar's girl,
neither I am not stuck at home for hours; simply a girl who gives more heart
than shots and like hugs.
I am the glass half empty waiting for the moment when it becomes full
again and the water overflows into a fit of laughter, which craves more life than
can exist in a container. Maybe that is why I like to see movies where the
protagonist falls in love with the beautiful and strong boy in the corner of a
beautiful boat. Before you go, let me tell you that I could portray in a photograph
your smile under the Madrid sun in one of those places that everyone asks
where is, and in fact there is the alley in front of his portal. Also I have to warn
that this mask that I wear create continuous confusion that end up being
reflected in the mirror of my writings, I'm not a tough girl, though perhaps not as
simple as others. I am an observer, a lot. Moreover, that made me some
headache when I hear a laugh that does not fit or a tear that does not drown.
Maybe that is why that we are poet's echo, we know when to use words
and when silence them. If someday I let out a note under your door, you will see
that I have a tiny print and although people say that is because of my low self-
esteem, I believe it is because I still have to grow up and leave my delicate and
tender partner, innocence. However, in real way, if I have to warn you about
something, I will do on my continuing need to escape. My eternal inner struggle
that makes me confuse freedom with the sweet dependence of another
heartbeat. And these letters, each of these words with makes me a prisoner and
a lover. By the way, my name is Flor, Latin origin name that means serenity and
nature and breaks much as almost bitter. Flor, remember well, please.
