Gramática
Porque el cielo ha conspirado en mi favor - Because the heavens have conspired in my favor:
ha conspirado = present perfect tense (haber + participio pasada)
Me haces bien - You make me better (literally: you make me well)
me (pronombre) + haces (hacer en el presente 2a persona) + bien (adjetivo)
Creo en ti - I believe in you
Creo (creer en el presente 1a persona)
Creer means to believe. When pared with “en” + “persona/pronombre” it means “to believe in...”
Me ha vuelto indestructible - I have become indestructible
volverse (con pronombre) = to become
“vuelto” is the past participle of volver(se), it’s irregular
me vuelvo (presente) = I become
me ha vuelto (pres. perfect) = I have become
Mi dolor se quedo kilómetros atrás = my pain stayed kilometers away
se quedo = quedarse en el pasado 3a persona
this verb always needs a reflexive pronoun
Past tenses
te encontré = I found you
crucé = I crossed
esperé = I hoped/waited (what a fun wordplay)
