Author’s Note: Hello! This piece is dedicated to my first crush after post-grad. I didn’t expect myself to be crushing on someone so quickly after graduating. The universe works in strange ways so I just took it as is. It was difficult for me to come up with the title of this piece so I had followers on Facebook and Instagram vote on a name! This was the first time I ever tried to incorporate Spanish into a poem. My Spanish is still terrible but I think it worked really well in this piece. There is a special bonus hidden within this poem as well! If you’re reading this on your phone, please put it in landscape mode for the correct format! Hopefully, y’all will be able to enjoy this!

Can I relive the first time I got engulfed in your adorable amber eyes?
Your sweet voice inebriated every fiber of my being.
A 5’6 queen with the temper of a lioness.
"Oh, cómo el mundo aún no se ha enamorado de ella?"
I'm a historian and you're the history I want to learn.
History will know in 2023, I discovered the Eighth Wonder of the World.
Radiance. You must be the reason that word was created.
You are the heat wave the news keeps warning us about.
The world is a brighter and better place wherever you go.
I ran after you because I didn’t want you to go alone.
I couldn’t go with you but I still wanted you to be safe.
Your determination is admirable and that made me fall more for you.
No one could have prepared me for the fun I had with you.
I was smiling so much hearing your laughter.
Seeing your gentle smile every day onward gave me strength.
All I want is the best and only the best for you. That’s why
I didn’t mind getting in trouble because you were having fun.
I would do it all over again to see that radiant smile.
Let me stay here a little longer and let happiness linger.
Because I don’t know if I’ll get to see you again.
I’m already dreading the days ahead knowing I will miss you.
Every single day with you was bright and lovely.
The experiences we shared gave me meaning and value.
I'll cherish them and protect them, memories of our shared melody.
Although our time was limited, I’m grateful to have met you.
It probably meant very little to you but for me, it meant everything.
I’m someone that wants your life to have a happy ending.
Letting go of these feelings is something I don’t want to do. So,
I’ll cheer you on from afar on your journey. I know you’ll go on
and be great, even if I am not there with you. Thank you for everything.
