Grammar:

• Quizá no fue coincidencia encontrarme contigo

  ➔ Subjunctive Mood (Imperfect Subjunctive)

  ➔ The phrase "Quizá no fue coincidencia" uses the imperfect subjunctive "fuera" (which is equivalent to "fuese" as an alternate form), implying doubt or uncertainty about whether the meeting was truly not a coincidence. The imperfect subjunctive is often used after expressions of doubt, possibility, or emotion in the past.

• Quiero dormirme de nuevo en tu pecho

  ➔ Infinitive used as a noun

  ➔ "Dormirme" (to fall asleep) is the infinitive form of the reflexive verb "dormirse". In this context, it functions somewhat as a noun, expressing the action itself as something desired. While "quiero dormir" would also be correct, "quiero dormirme" emphasizes the reflexive action of falling asleep on her chest.

• Tu sexto sentido sueña conmigo

  ➔ Present Tense (Simple Present)

  ➔ "Sueña" (dreams) is the third-person singular form of the verb "soñar" (to dream) in the present tense. It describes a current or habitual action or state.

• Sé que pronto estaremos unidos

  ➔ Future Simple Tense

  ➔ "Estaremos" (we will be) is the first-person plural form of the verb "estar" (to be) in the future simple tense. It expresses a future action or state with certainty.

• Sabes que estoy colgando en tus manos

  ➔ Present Continuous Tense (Gerund)

  ➔ "Estoy colgando" (I am hanging) uses the present continuous tense, formed with the verb "estar" (to be) and the gerund "colgando" (hanging). It signifies an action in progress, a current state of being dependent.

• Así que no me dejes caer

  ➔ Imperative Mood (Negative Command)

  ➔ "No me dejes caer" (Don't let me fall) is a negative command using the subjunctive form of "dejar" (to let). In Spanish, negative commands are formed using the subjunctive, not the indicative.

• Te envío poemas de mi puño y letra

  ➔ Prepositional phrase indicating authorship

  ➔ The phrase "de mi puño y letra" (of my fist and letter) is an idiomatic expression meaning "in my own handwriting" or "written by me". The preposition "de" indicates origin or authorship.

• Y así me recuerdes y tengas presente

  ➔ Subjunctive Mood (Present Subjunctive)

  ➔ The phrases "me recuerdes" and "tengas presente" use the present subjunctive because they follow "así que" (so that) and express a purpose or desired outcome. The subjunctive is used in subordinate clauses expressing desire, doubt, possibility, necessity, or emotion.
