LOVE

What does love taste like? Said a being who did not know the flavors, How does love feel? asked the one who lacked touch? How can love be heard in the heart? asked a deaf man, What does love smell like? trying to get an answer said silently the one who could not smell. Then a silence silenced the amphitheater, and the one who could not see took the floor, he got strength, a loud sigh was heard and he said: I have all your answers, I know exactly what you want to know, and although I cannot see it, I do not need it... for with a kiss on the forehead and your arms wrapped around mine, when I feel I can no longer see it, I can feel it. I can smell it and taste it when I open the door and see my mother preparing my favorite meal, just because she knew I would come to visit. And I can hear it, when in the mornings, I have to go to work, and just as I close the door, that pair of tender little eyes appear, telling me that they will wait for me, to take care of me and call him if I miss him. Then silence was the protagonist, all the people there were wrapped in tears and again a sigh was heard...So I don't need to see him, because with all this that I have shared with you, for me, I have already seen him without even opening my eyes.
