Papi knew my mother since they were children.
Grew up right here, in this neighborhood of Sosúa.
They were of this home, of each other.

Grew up ________ grew apart
at least that is what Tía says, that she remembers
how her little sister made eyes at the boy across the way.

They reconnected one day at El Malecón.
She was sitting near the water, gossiping
with a friend from university.


(P.S., The original just had a bunch of spaces on the fourth line, between "Grew up" and "grew apart", but GR keeps 'correcting' me and leaving only one space, so I added underscores to give you the feel of the page.)

Thank you so much for this, I was wondering the same and wishing I had an example.
