I Am by Your Side / Estoy a tu lado

Carlos Alberto BUSTILLOS





I want to celebrate that I am by your side,
even if I am not there physically;
I am always by your side,
when you are sad,
by your side.

 

You don’t need to see me;
you can feel me breathing,
by your side, in your ears, in your chest.
I will murmur joyful words to lift you up,
so softly you won’t hear them, yet they will be there, by your side.

 

You don’t need to know anything more than that I will accompany you
when you go through a hard moment.
My soul will connect with yours;
we will make magic.

 

It is the miracle
of good wishes,
which do not depend on reality.
We will shape reality together, we will turn it around,
we will flip life so it becomes all color.

 

And if you need a word
to comfort you,
I will be there,
eternal,
to blow
those bubbles
into your ears,
to lift you,
to calm you,
to love you
in the magic.

 

And remember,
tomorrow will be better,
everything will grow brighter each day,
with the wishes of happiness.

 

More than words:
good wishes
never die;
goodness gives light.

Whatever happens,
remember: I will be with you,
even if my body is gone,
for good wishes never end—
always by your side, sowing happiness in you.

 

It is the miracle of filling the world with the best,
and you know, wishes do come true;
it only takes desiring them from the heart.
It is the miracle of the poetry of life,
which makes us eternal in love.

ESTOY A TU LADO

 

Quiero celebrar que estoy a tu lado,
aunque físicamente no esté,
estoy a tu lado siempre,
cuando estés triste,
a tu lado.

No necesitas verme,
puedes sentirme suspirando,
a tu lado, en tus oídos, en tu pecho,
te musitaré palabras alegres para animarte,
tan bajo que no las oirás, pero allí estarán a tu lado.

No necesitas saber más que te acompañaré,
cuando pases un mal momento,
mi alma conectará contigo,
haremos magia.

Es el milagro
de los buenos deseos,
que no necesitan de la realidad;
haremos la realidad juntos, daremos un giro,
voltearemos la vida para que sea todo color.

Y si necesitas una palabra
para confortarte,
ahí estaré,
eterno,
para soplar
esas burbujas
en tus oídos,
para animarte,
para calmarte,
para amarte
en la magia.

Y recuerda,
mañana irá mejor,
todo será mejor cada día,
con los deseos de la felicidad.

Algo más que palabras:
los buenos deseos
nunca mueren,
lo bueno da luz.

Pase lo que pase,
recuerda: estaré contigo,
aunque mi cuerpo se haya ido,
pero los buenos deseos nunca acaban,
a tu lado siempre para sembrarte de felicidad.

Es el milagro de llenar el mundo de lo mejor,
y sabes, los deseos se hacen realidad,
solo es cosa de desearlo de corazón;
es el milagro de la poesía de la vida,
que nos hace eternos en el amor.

            Carlos, this reminds me of people who have touched my life and are no longer physically present, yet somehow remain part of it all the same. The impact of genuine kindness has a way of lingering. This spoke to me, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
