There are some moments to be celebrated —
The birth of one’s child,
El momento en que descubres tu verdad,
when you finally accept who you are,
and in that light,
you meet who you are not.
The small victories,
las grandes derrotas,
the steps backward
y los pasos que aún tiemblan hacia adelante.
La mirada que desnuda —
the one that undresses not your body, but your being.
La mirada que enamora,
genuine, unexpected,
tied to the innocent smile
del que te observa
y en silencio — te ama.
That forbidden gaze
del que te ve más allá de la piel,
the one that catches eternity
in the quiet flash of an instant.
El amor prohibido
que nunca será,
but still —
was.
