La Soñadora

I think of dreams Like if they are normal Just because I am in love, and Just because I am missing mi tecito, and It began like this:

Estaba en el pasillo, y de una vez lo vi al té justo ahí. Lo abracé, lo tomé de él cuello, y tenía una vestidura blanca. Then I rested when I put my face On his shoulder.

As I rested, I was holding it in my hands, And Tea told me: “I’ll go on a run right now,” I wanted to give him a kiss, but I did not, Because of my education, Because my mom’s room was right at the end Of the hallway which reminded me why I must not!

He went to the bathroom to wash His hands and I was Crossing the hallway and kissed him, And I told him: “I missed you. Be careful and go now So you don’t come home late,” Because it was around 6 o’clock.

He left, and my mom said:

“I thought that you were downstairs with el té, que vestía de negro.”

Yo le dije: “No, yo no,” ella dijo: “Lo vi, besando a alguien y se fue en un vehículo con ella.”

I said: “El té vestía de blanco y lo vi cuando se iba caminando y vi los de ahí abajo, y no era él. Now I am awake, I woke up… ~Desperté junto a la taza de té.

I think of dreams

Like if they are normal Just because I am in love, and Just because I am missing my (little, affectionate) tea, and It began like this:

I was in the hallway, And I instantly saw the tea right there. I hugged it, I held it by the neck, and it had white clothing. Then I rested when I put my face On his shoulder.

As I rested, I was holding it in my hands, And Tea told me: “I’ll go on a run right now,” I wanted to give him a kiss, but I did not, Because of my education, Because my mom’s room was right at the end Of the hallway which reminded me why I must not!

He went to the bathroom to wash His hands and I was Crossing the hallway and kissed him,

And I told him: “I missed you. Be careful and go now So you don’t come home late,” Because it was around 6 o’clock.

He left, and my mom said:

“I thought that you were downstairs with the tea, that was dressed in black. I said: “No, it wasn’t me,” and she said: “I saw it, kissing someone and it left in a car with her.”

I said: “The tea dressed in white and I saw it when it was walking. I saw those downstairs, and it wasn’t him (tea). Now I am awake, I woke up…

-I woke up next to the cup of tea.
