L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one i see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore can
Love is all that i can give to you
love is more than just a game for two
love was made for me and you...
To my Galway Girl: You're an angel for seeing my folks. I told you my mom didn't hate your guts. Well, you know, anymore.
You are now standing in my fort where I did all my big thinking.
This is where I stood thinking about you after the very first time we met.
You didn't look real to me at first. I never saw so many colors on one girl before... but you looked like you belonged out there, all right.
You and all your colors.
Do you remember the first thing you ever said to me?
H: I'm lost.
Oh, you didn't look lost, not to me.
G: So, what are you looking for out here?
H: Wicklow Mountains National Park?
G: Wicklow Mountains National Park. Tell me, how long you been walking for?
H: A few hours.
G: Well, you've probably been in the national park for a few hours, then.
H: Oh, my God. This is a park?
G: Uh-huh.
H: Oh. It's so cold! The paper said it was gonna be warm.
G: It is warm. I know you're lost, but you do know you're in Ireland, don't you?
H: Well, I better head back. Heh.
G: And where is that?
H: I'm staying at a B and B in Dunlougahairy.
G: Dunlagohairy? No, I think you mean Dún Laoghaire.
H: Heh-heh. You're kidding?
G: No. Would I lie to you?
H: Dún Laoghaire?
G: Dún Laoghaire.
H: Okay. Thanks.
G: You're grand. But you're going the wrong way, you know.
H: That way? Okay.
G: I think you quite enjoy this getting lost, don't you?
H: You know, actually, I don't mind so much, not here.
G: So how did you come to be here?
H: Oh, on my way home, college trip. We started in Greece.
G: Jesus, that's a long walk. That's a bad joke. What are you studying?
H: Art. Yeah.
G: Art? Oh, so you're an artist, then?
H: Oh. I don't know yet.
G: That's great. Do you make anything or?
H: I don't know yet.
G: Well, good luck with that.
H: Oh.
G: You... Would you mind if we walked together since we're going in the same direction? I'll stay on this side of the road. Don't even have to talk. Just... Just quite nice, sometimes walking along with someone without talking... ...once you get your feet wet.
At first, the no-talking thing didn't last. Before long, I couldn't get you to shut up. But you were so cute, trying to impress me with William Blake and all your grand plans. I had no idea what you were talking about.... but I couldn't help loving the way you talked.
H: "I must create a... " Something. "... or be enslaved by another man's... " Something. Wait, "I will not... I will not reason or compare. My business is to create... " Something. Oh, God.
G: Did you just make that up then?
H: No, it's William Blake, but I completely screwed it up.
G: No, you didn't, you made it better. I understood it.
I didn't have a clue, actually.
H: All I know is, if you don't figure out the "something," you'll just stay ordinary. And it doesn't matter if it's a work of art, or a taco, or a pair of socks. Just create something new and there it is. And it's you, out in the world,outside of you. And you can look at it, or hear it,or read it, or feel it... and you know a little bit more about you. A little bit more than anybody else does.
Does that make any sense at all?
G: Yeah. You're saying you want to paint socks.
H: Maybe.
I loved you right then and there.
H: Hey, I like this jacket.
G: It looks good on you. Got it on a bet.
H: What was the bet?
G: Heh. I was a few Guinness's for the worse at this point... but a fella bet me that I couldn't get a certain girl... to kiss me without a provocation.
H: What girl?
G: His girl.
H: Oh! Ha-ha.
G: Uh-huh. Ha-ha.
H:How'd you do it?
G: There's nothing to it, really. A fella just has to tell a woman the truth without words. It's like a signal you send out. The woman, she just picks it up.
H: And what's the truth?
G: That kissing her would be the end of life as I know it.
H: Wow. And that's true of every girl you've gotten to kiss you?
G: I could turn it on and off when I was younger and I had no principles. When every girl that I was lucky enough to kiss was the end of life as I knew it.
H: And now?
G: Now I only send it out when I think she might be the one that makes it true.
H: I know where I am now. Thanks, it was really nice to meet you.
G: No, I could walk you into town.
H: Oh, no, it's okay. I know where I am. I know where I'm going. I'll never forget this. Your jacket.
G: No, wait! Wait, wait, don't move.
H: What?
G: Oh, yeah, it's a wild Irish dog.
H: A what?
G:Shh! You have to stand still.
H: Okay.
G:Get close, like one person. And if we separate, he'll feel... threatened and attack our vital parts.
H: What vital parts? All my parts are vital.
G: Shh, shh. We have to stand still. Now, just let him sniff around a bit. Now wait.
H: I'm really scared. Would you put your arms around me?
G: All right. Yeah, that's probably a good idea.
H: Yeah. Do you think we could turn around and face each other without freaking him out?
G: Ahh... Okay. Sure. But let's move very slowly, okay?
H: Okay.
G: Ow.
H: Oh, sorry. I haven't done this in a while. I've been seeing this boy, but we don't do much. I don't know why. Maybe it's me.
G: No, he's a boy who.. doesn't know anything about kissing. That's a man's business.
H: Is it? That was the most perfect... perfect first kiss.
G: That was the second. This is the third.
Some random Sr: Brody, come. Hey, Gerry.
G: Yeah. How are you, Jeff? Hey, where you going?
No, stay. Stay. No, but... You have my jacket.
H: I know, I'm keeping it unless we meet again.
G: I bet we do.
H: That's a bet you're gonna have to win because... if we do meet again then that'll be the end of it, you know.
G: The end of what?
H: Life as we know it.
G: Look, I'm singing at this pub...
H: No, no, no. Don't tell me. If I happen to walk into the right one in the right town... then we'll know for sure, won't we? And if I don't... then that'll just be the most perfect kiss ever created by two strangers and we'll just keep it perfect for the rest of our lives.
G: What's your name?
H:No, no! Wait, no, don't. Don't, don't. No, no...
Life had changed as I knew it. And now it's changed again, luv. See, I don't worry about you remembering me... it's that girl on the road you keep forgetting.
"My business is to create. It doesn't even matter what you do. " You told me that, remember.
P.S. So go home. Go find it. Find that thing that makes you like nobody else. I'll help. Look for a sign.

En una película dijeron que aquello que se pierde, se pierde. Muchas veces, desde que la oí, me he quedado pensando hasta qué punto esa frase era cierta. Hay veces que perdemos algo, creemos que nunca más volveremos a recuperar y de repente un día aparece de nuevo, bajado del cielo, dispuesto en exclusiva para nosotros. Pero las cosas hay que ganárselas, ¿no? Otras veces las cosas se pierden y nunca más vuelven. Recuperar lo pasado es llamar al viento y pretender que venga. No nos corresponde a nosotros el deseo de que vuelvan, lo hemos provocado así y nos lo hemos ganado. Punto final. Y también existe aquello que creemos perder y en verdad nunca se fue. Y dentro de este grupo entran todo tipo de cosas: una amistad, una relación con algún pariente, un objeto preciado que aparece en el lugar menos pensado… Y lo sentimental, el amor. Creemos que el deseo se ha ido, que la necesidad ha desaparecido, que los sentimientos van caminando por otro camino desconocido, comienzas a sonreír más, parece que se va, se va, se va… Pero no. No se ha ido y un olor es el que te lo recuerda. Los días que mejor estás, sin que te duela levantarte de la cama, todo el universo parece conspirar contra ti: recuerdos por todos lados, su nombre en boca de todos, olores, palabras, películas, canciones. Y es entonces cuando te das cuenta de que hay cosas que crees perder y nunca pierdes.
La flecha envenenada quedó neutralizada y los fuegos artificiales volvieron a hacer explosión en mi corazón. Ahora entendía. Esto era el verdadero amor, la clase de amor que siempre había estado buscando y que había estado en mí misma durante todo ese tiempo. Aquella revelación empezó a precipitarse por todo mi cuerpo como un bolo de epinefrina inyectado a través de un tubo intravenoso. ¡Tantas penalidades! ¡Tanto amor no correspondido en relaciones anteriores! Lo absurdo de todo aquello se extendía ante mi vista con absoluta claridad. Lo único que tenía que hacer era verme a mí misma y tal y como era, quererme por lo que era, y luego simplemente compartir ese amor. Que me correspondieran o no, poco importaba. Lo que contaba de verdad era permitirme sentir algo auténtico, querer de verdad sin necesidad de recibir algo a cambio. ¿Por qué no lo había comprendido años atrás? ¡Cuánto dolor me hubiera ahorrado!
Joe me apretó las manos con más fuerza y dijo:
-¿Ves?, desde el principio era tu amor propio lo que te impedía amar. No querías dar nada a menos que te garantizaran algo a cambio. Aún no sabías que el verdadero placer está en dar.
(Del libro "Dios vuelve en una harley")
-Pasen un buen miercoles :)
Primero, primero de mes, de reinicio, de nuevo sol. Se le agotan las razones y empieza la acción. Uno, dos, tres, salta a dos pies, como el canguro que es. Y se olvida de reírse de las caídas; ya no quiere perder. Tres, dos uno, todo vuelve a empezar, el aire huele a intenso y ella quiere jugar.
