Falling into the routine
Of having you with me
Is as simple as breathing
For all my decades without you
My mind finds itself at home
My body fits against yours
My heart sighs in relief
How you are so familiar
When I've only known you
For a mere fraction of my life
Is simply beyond me
me rereading my own poems: what the fuck do you mean by that
Isabel Allende, The House of the Spirits
