Gramática:

• Hoy la vi pasar

  ➔ Preterite tense (vi) for past action.

  ➔ "vi" is the preterite (or simple past) form of the verb "ver" (to see). It indicates a completed action in the past: "I saw her."

• Sin querer se apoderaron de mí

  ➔ Reflexive verb with impersonal 'se'.

  ➔ The phrase "se apoderaron" indicates that something (in this case, feelings) took control without the speaker's intention. The 'se' emphasizes this lack of agency.

• Que yo pensé que no existían en mí

  ➔ Subjunctive mood (existieran) in a relative clause dependent on a verb of thinking in the past.

  ➔ "Pensé" triggers the subjunctive mood ("existieran") because the speaker is expressing a past belief about something's existence, which is now being questioned or found to be untrue.

• Que estaban más que muertos

  ➔ Comparative of inequality with "más que".

  ➔ Expresses that the feelings were "more than dead", meaning completely dead or gone.

• Al menos que lo quiera

  ➔ Subjunctive mood after "al menos que" (unless).

  ➔ "Al menos que" (unless) requires the subjunctive mood in the subordinate clause. Here, "quiera" (subjunctive form of "querer") expresses a condition or possibility.

• Porque la sangre me quemaba la piel

  ➔ Imperfect tense (quemaba) to describe a continuous or habitual action in the past.

  ➔ The imperfect tense "quemaba" indicates that the burning sensation was ongoing or constant at the time. It's not a single, completed action, but a state.

• Que fue por ella lo que he sufrido

  ➔ Present perfect (he sufrido) expressing an action that started in the past and continues to have relevance in the present.

  ➔ The use of "he sufrido" means the suffering began in the past because of her and continues to affect the speaker.

• Me di cuenta que jamás la olvidé

  ➔ Preterite (di) combined with "jamás" (never) to emphasize a past action that has never happened.

  ➔ "Me di cuenta" (I realized) in the preterite indicates a completed action of realization in the past. "Jamás la olvidé" emphasizes that he never forgot her.
