Llegaste cuando me voy
Delfín, ahora entiendo tu nombre: llegas a quitar todo lo malo. Lo que me hiciste sentir no merece un poema que rime, porque a veces una palabra que rime no expresa el verdadero sentimiento. Te vi y me viste. Fue amor a primera vista.
Pero no un amor que los humanos puedan entender, ya que en estos tiempos el amor se confunde con el dinero y el sexo. ¿Cómo pudiste enseñarme tanto sin decir una palabra?
Me enseñaste que querías ser libre, aunque te tenían en cautiverio. Pero aún en esas circunstancias, me enseñaste que no es lo que te pase en la vida, sino cómo reaccionas y lo asumes.
Por un momento pensé que eras así con todo el mundo, pero no. Tú puedes mirar el alma. Incluso tu entrenadora no dejaba que se hicieran fotos contigo porque nunca querías.
Ahí entendí que viste algo en mí, y no solo te hiciste fotos conmigo. El último día que te vi me diste un beso, y esa foto siempre la llevaré conmigo. No sé si fue una despedida o tal vez me dijiste: "Tranquilo, tú puedes".
Dime si existe el cielo para los delfines, porque tiene que existir. Porque una meningitis te apartó de mí. Si pudiste vivir más de 50 años, por eso creo que estábamos destinados. Tú no pasaste por este mundo en vano, porque siempre te voy a recordar. Gracias, Penelope.
Nota: Esta foto fue la última vez que vi a Penelope. Ese beso quedará en mi corazón por siempre.
Gracias por leerme.

Title: You Arrived as I'm Leaving Letter inspired by a 2-year friendship between me and a dolphin who healed and freed me from depression. Original letter by @reuel30.
You Arrived as I'm Leaving
Dolphin, now I understand your name: you come to take away all the bad. What you made me feel doesn't deserve a poem that rhymes, because sometimes a rhyming word doesn't express the true feeling. I saw you and you saw me. It was love at first sight.
But not a love that humans can understand, since in these times love is confused with money and sex. How could you teach me so much without saying a word?
You taught me that you wanted to be free, even though they kept you in captivity. But even in those circumstances, you taught me that it's not what happens to you in life, but how you react and accept it.
For a moment I thought you were like that with everyone, but no. You can look into the soul. Even your trainer wouldn't allow photos to be taken with you because you never wanted to.
That's when I understood that you saw something in me, and you not only took pictures with me. The last day I saw you, you gave me a kiss, and I will always carry that photo with me. I don't know if it was a goodbye or maybe you were telling me: "Don't worry, you can do this."
Tell me if there is a heaven for dolphins, because there has to be. Because meningitis took you away from me. If you could live for over 50 years, that's why I believe we were destined to meet. You did not pass through this world in vain, because I will always remember you. Thank you, Penelope.
Note: This photo was the last time I saw Penelope. That kiss will remain in my heart forever.
Thank you for reading me.
