Te culpo a vos

I blame you.
I blame your sole essence.
I blame you for all these things I am feeling.
I blame your dark black hair
I blame those perky cheeks that you have,
that are so damn beautiful, especially when you laugh,
ah woman, the things you make me feel.
I blame your stretched out eyes,
I blame those thin eyebrows you naturally have,
which you so perfectly enlarge and make look so “on fleek”
I blame the softness of your hands,
I blame the hairless you,
for you, rarely grow hair…
you are blessed that way.
I blame your smile,
oh how your cheeks get red when I make you smile,
how your throat moves up and down when I really make you laugh,
and instead of being a high pitch laugh,
your real laugh is deep, as if it grew from deep within and exits out
I blame you for the enchantment I am in when I see you,
or even hear someone utter your name.
I blame you, for when I am in your presence its heaven
I can watch you for hours and will find a thousand new things every time
You held me captive from the first time I laid my eyes on you
I saw you walk through those doors, and everything stopped for me
Everyone around me was yapping away
yet everything went silent, I could hear my own breathing as you walked in front of me
I don’t remember what I was doing, but I know that I stopped doing whatever it was,
and was in awe at you, this beautiful creature that the universe decided to bless me with
“Where did you come from? Who is that?” I said out loud
In shock, I could not understand where all of this came from,
who was this person that was making me feel this way.
Oh from that moment on woman, you took my breath away
and I blame you for being breathless ever since.
I’ve been stuck on an oxygen machine called “living”
but there ain’t no living outside of you.
I blame you for all of this,
I blame your sole essence.
Even though you are not mine, and maybe you never will be
the knowing that you are breathing somewhere it’s what keeps me alive.
