Su primera ausencia / Her First Absence

An English version below

Estuvo ausente por nueve días. D se la llevó a Puerto Rico a conocer al resto de la familia, de su lado y el mío. Cada noche dormía con su sabanita a mi lado para recordar su olorcito a guineo maduro. Entonces regresó. Y ahora no me reconoce. No canta conmigo. No ríe mis sandeces. Llora inconsolable cuando su madre la deja sola conmigo. Al menos todavía me queda su sabanita.

She's been absent for nine days. D took her to Puerto Rico to meet the rest of the family, her side and mine. Every night I fell asleep holding her blanket and it's banana smell. Then she came back. She doesn't recognize me anymore, or sings along with me or laugh at my sillyness. She even cries when D leaves her alone with me. At least I still have her blanket.
