Welcome, by Mario Benedetti

Welcome, by Mario Benedetti

It occurs to me that you are going to arrive differently

not exactly cuter

no stronger

nor more docile

no more cautious

just that you're going to get different

as if this season of not seeing me

I would have surprised you too

maybe because you know

how do I think and I'll list you

After all, nostalgia exists

although we do not cry on ghostly platforms

nor on candor pillows

nor under the opaque sky

I nostalgia

your nostalgia

and how it bursts me that he nostalgie

your face is the vanguard

maybe it comes first

because I paint it on the walls

with invisible and safe strokes

do not forget that your face

looks at me as a people

Smile and rage and sing

as a people

and that gives you a fire

inextinguishable

now I have no doubt

you will arrive different and with signs

with new

with depth

frankly

I know I'm going to love you without questions

I know you're going to love me without answers.

Analysis of the poem: these are ideal verses to dedicate during a reunion with the beloved person, realizing the great emotional connection that exists and that not even distance has been able to diminish.
