Self Poem by guillermo veloso

Where have you been?
I’ve waited all these years
You set off
So many odysseys
So many people so many places so many nights
So angry
So selfish
I have been here all along
Waiting
Waiting for you to silence the voices and see only me
I am here
I have always been here
From those moments alone / the crib / the night
I have always been here
Can you see me now?
In the moment between sleep and dream
Between breaths
Between blinks
Between alone and love
Between life and death
I am your only true companion
I am your angel
I am your minder
I am you in the mirror
I am you
And you are me
