After much insistence

life became good to me,
she who came with a crazy desire to argue with me on the sidewalk.
We reached a truce of not demanding anything from each other,
she expects so little
and I need so little
to enter and leave the days,
that it was no longer worth it to walk around with a long face
and other people's fleas. I ask for nothing but
the shade of a tree, a passing rain,
the love of the woman I love,
the smile of my daughters, sun and stars.
She, who believed that I wanted too much
and I told her that it was not like that,
after much insistence
life became good to me.
