SOMETHING INSIDE ME - Algo en mí

Carlos Alberto BUSTILLOS





SOMETHING INSIDE ME


Today I woke up levitating,

today I let myself be seduced,

today I let myself be held,

embraced by my other self.

A little tenderness

for that strange soul,

without fear of being loved

in my own smallness.

A little pampering from oneself

for my own beloved self.

I have turned everything upside down,

there is no harm in self-care;

love always starts

within.

To give,

to give love,

I begin from within,

honoring myself with my love,

from the inside out, that is love.

To share love, one must learn:

love for everyone begins with oneself.

Different forms of love,

each one fitting,

right where it belongs.

Love

is good.

There is something inside me

that lives in us all:

born to love,

may we be sources

of endless

love.

ALGO EN MI

Hoy me he levantado levitando,

hoy me he dejado seducir,

hoy me he dejado abrazar,

abrazado por mi otro yo.

Un poco de cariño

para ese ser extraño,

sin temor a ser amado

en mi propia pequeñez.

Un poco de mimo de uno

para mi propio yo amado.

He vuelto todo del revés,

no es malo cuidarme,

el amor empieza

por uno.

Para dar,

para dar amor,

empiezo de dentro,

me respeto con mi amor,

de dentro a afuera es el amor.

Para regalar amor hay que saber:

amor a todos, empezando por uno.

Distintos amores,

cada uno justo,

en su sitio.

El amor

es bueno.

Hay algo en mí

que está en todos:

nacidos para amar,

seamos fuentes

del amor

infinito.
