La teoría de los archipiélagos

The archipelago theory says that we are all islands, we come into this world alone and leave exactly the same, but we need to have other islands around us to feel happy in the middle of that sea that unites as much as it separates. I have always thought that it would be a tiny island, one of those in which there are three palm trees, a beach, two rocks and little else; I have felt invisible for much of my life. But then you appeared, who would undoubtedly be a volcanic island full of caves and flowers. And it is the first time that I wonder if two islands can touch each other in the depth of the ocean, even if no one is able to see it. If that exists, if between the corals and sediments and whatever anchors us in the middle of the sea there is a point of union, it is undoubtedly you and me. And if not, we're so close I'm sure I can swim to you.
