Three Thirds
I can recall that I had been complaining
My whole childhood
Why couldnt I get my own room
Instead I had to share with my sisters
I wanted my own space
Without them
When I was 8
She left
It was
3/3
2/3
Then
1/3
I was the last one left
The feeling of losing a piece of me
One third of me
“Todavía pueden hablar por teléfono va estar bien”
No
Because she was the same one to comfort me
Comfort me after it happened, even if I didn’t tell her the truth
I would come to tell her the truth about what happened
On the phone
So when i cried
When she cried
We could not be in each others dense embrace
An embrace tight enough to release the pain
But hey
It was worth it
Right?
I mean
I finally got my own room
"Three Thirds" is about love and loneliness. Being the youngest and watching the people you love move on and grow up. Loosing someone although not forever still leaves a permanent mark.
