Dance!

Today, I drove to work listening to that song you sent me, the one that reminds me of tropical islands, coconut trees and people dressed in colorful clothes walking along the beach. Today, just like every single day, I thought about you. But because I was listening to this song I didn't just think about you, I also remembered that friday night at your place, just the two of us, drinking beer and soda, listening to your music and talking about trivial stuff. I remembered the way we sat next to each other, and the way your hands played with my hair. But that song was like traveling back in time because I also remembered exactly how it felt to dance with you, to dance to that rythm I don't know much about and the way I was laughing because I couldn't do it right (me, an expert in Merengue, Salsa and Bachata). I remembered, actually, I felt your body next to mine and your face against my face, fighting to become one, so close to each other there were no empty spaces between us, limbs tied around each other. And I thank God that I was feeling that all while parked at my office.

Friends


















It is such a wonderful thing to have friends around you. You need friends when you get fired from work, dumped from a boyfriend or when you are just having a bad case of PMS. You need friends to celebrate birthdays, engagements, weddings. You also need friends to cancel engagements and call off weddings. Friends are great to have around when you are out partying, drinking and dancing, having fun. But friends are specially needed to make you down that strawberry flavored soda when you have had too much fun and too many drinks.

No day but today

The other day I was watching that movie, Rent, and I know I should have seen it a long time ago, but I finally took the DVD and watched it. Even though musicals are not my type of movie, I liked this one, a lot. Maybe because I could relate to it and it's message, maybe because right now I wish someone would understand that there is nothing but this day, that the past is gone and done and the future is uncertain. But most of the time people don't understand me. I say what I feel, what I think, I don't hold it back, this gets me in trouble sometimes but at least I get it out, make people hear it, and I don't stay with it wondering...what if? Only that, this time I might have to stay wondering "what if", though not because I want or because I didn't do anything, this time it's not something I can control. Too bad, 'cause if I could control this situation things would be so good. For you and for me.
