The Uncertainty

I am at risk that you'll hate me
Or maybe that you'll listen to me,
Afraid of an unexpected reaction
To the truths inside me.

I look into your restless eyes
Waiting for the words that unleash the storm,
Or so I think when I see you,
But I don't know, I'm not quite sure.

Uneasy my hands in my pockets
And a whirlwind forms in my head.
The song of the birds seems more logical to me
Than the words of this inveterate fool,
In search of what is not lost to me,
As my mother used to say.

And I think of how nervous you make me,
When you urge me to continue what I haven't started.
My conscience wanders between different scenarios
And the church seems to me a good place to flee.

But who am I running from?
I try to speak, but my tongue weighs me down.
Your hands seek mine,
They kidnap them from my hiding place
And my heart is running wild, asking me to meditate.

I can't stand the uncertainty any longer,
I'm intrigued by your answer to the "I love you" I throw into the air,
Without even perceiving it,
Without being able to grab it by the feet.

Your eyes are shocked at the statement,
You learn that as a friend I no longer see you,
That my heart has decided to change your status,
Without thinking that wounded and desolate it may remain,
At the shame of not being reciprocated.

I wait with biting silence
For your lips to proclaim something.
And suddenly a smile on your mouth leaves me delirious,
Maybe I'm not dreaming
And may your lips really be right.
At the hope that you're giving me.

La Incertidumbre

Corro el riesgo de que me odies
O tal vez de que me escuches,
Con miedo de una reacción inesperada
A las verdades que llevo dentro.

Me miro en tus ojos inquietos
Esperando las palabras que desaten la tormenta,
O eso creo yo al verte,
Pero no lo sé, segura no estoy del todo.

Intranquilas mis manos en los bolsillos
Y un torbellino se forma en mi cabeza.
El canto de los pájaros me parece más lógico
Que las palabras de este necia empedernida,
En busca de lo que no se me ha perdido,
Como decía mi mamá.

Y pienso en lo nerviosa que me pones,
Cuando me instas a continuar lo que no he empezado.
Mi conciencia divaga entre diversos escenarios
Y la iglesia me parece un buen lugar para huir.

¿Pero de quién huyo?
Intento hablar, más la lengua me pesa.
Tus manos buscan las mías,
Las secuestran de mi escondite
Y el corazón desbocado me pide que medite.

Ya no puedo más con el incierto,
Me intriga tu respuesta al "te quiero" que lanzo al aire,
Sin siquiera percibirlo,
Sin poderlo agarrar de los pies.

Tus ojos se impactan ante la declaración,
Te enteras que como amiga no te veo ya,
Que mi corazón ha decidido cambiar tu estatus,
Sin pensar que herido y desolado puede quedar,
Ante la vergüenza de no ser correspondido.

Espero con silencio mordaz
A que tus labios pregonen algo.
Y de repente una sonrisa en tu boca me deja delirando,
Puede que tal vez no esté soñando
Y que de verdad sean tus labios acertados
Ante la esperanza que me estás brindando.
