I remember her every time I hear the word “Fear”
and I cannot forget how she
felt like leaving
every time I tried to touch her hand
When we feared that our eyes would meet
we would instead go to watch a
movie or to have an ice cream
And even though we barely breathed the same air
I could feel how the breeze
of her eyelashes brushed my cheek
I used to stay looking at her yellow painted nails and her small hands
One day, I decided to invite her to my place
I remember I painted my lips as
best as my pulse allowed me
and I waited for her

Esta es Raquel,
 
Me acuerdo de ella cada vez que escucho la palabra miedo
y no se me van de la cabeza todos sus ánimos de huida
cada vez que intentaba rozar su mano
Cuando temíamos que nuestras miradas se encontraran
íbamos al cine o a tomar un helado
y aunque apenas respiráramos el mismo aire
yo sentía que en mi mejilla me rozaba la brisa de sus pestañas
Me quedaba mirando sus uñas amarillas, sus pequeñas manos
Un día decidí invitarla a mi casa
Me pinté los labios lo más perfecto que mi pulso me permitía,
y la esperé

I could swear
 
that when I heard the doorbell I thought she was finally ready
that
I had overcome all my fears,
but when I finally decided to jump in the deep
end
I realized that you still had not gotten to be free

Spanish: 
 
Os podría jurar
 
que cuando oí sonar el timbre pensé que por fin estaba lista
que había superado todos mis temores
pero cuando conseguí lanzarme a la piscina
comprendí que tu aún no habías conseguido ser libre

Pero luego llegó ese día
y aunque tu llevabas semanas huyendo de mi
aunque ya no me miraras, ni me hablaras
ni me contaras que películas habías visto y lo maruja que era la señora
que tenías sentada al lado en el cine
Cuando te miraba me olvidaba de todo
Me olvidaba del abismo que suponía el dar un paso al frente
y asi enfrentarme a todo aquello que llevaba tantísimo tiempo
escapándose de mis manos
 
 
Así que sí, tome la tuya con cuidado
la apreté fuerte y la acaricié dulce
y cuando tu no mirabas recorría cada centímetro de ti
encontrando detalles en los que pararme
Te miraba con cautela, como si fueras una obra de arte
un objeto frágil al que no podía romper

English: 
But after that, the day came,
 
and even though you spent weeks without talking
to me,
and even though you did not tell me what kind of movies you had seen
or
how noisy the woman that was sitting next to you on the cinema was
when I
looked at you, I could forget everything
I forgot about the abyss that meant taking a step forward
and face all those
things that were for so long
out of my control
 
 
So, I held your hand, and being so careful,
I held it strong, and I caressed
sweetly
and when you did not look at me
,I look at every inch of you, finding
details that I could not imagine
I looked at you with care, as if you would be a piece of art,
a fragile object that
could be broken.

English: 
held your hand very tight again,
and yes, you all know what
happened.
Raquel, It is normal to be afraid sometimes,
but if you are afraid of who you are, you will
never be yourself anymore.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Spanish: 
Te volví a apretar la mano, te miré a los ojos
y sí, ya sabeís lo que pasó
Raquel, es normal tener miedo a veces
pero temer ser quien de verdad eres implica no ser tu mismo nunca
