La mala costumbre

There are habits that even years don't break - staying silent when you need to speak, and speaking when it's already too late. This is how relationships are built where love is on autopilot: kisses scheduled, "everything's fine" by the alarm clock. Until one day it turns out that the house is quiet not because there is peace, but because it is empty.

And only then do all the "should have beens" come – the words, touches, glances that remained just a draft. Time is running out, as always, and it's simply terrifying to think that you could have hugged and didn't. And somewhere between regret and tenderness, a simple truth rings out: you should appreciate not after, but while they are still by your side.
