Al sumergir mis pies en el agua helada, al recorrer playas de arena y rocas acompañada del silencio y la fauna del lugar, al atreverme a mirar a las grandes bestias que placidamente descansan en las colinas, al no huir, me arranque una capa de piel.
Sin nada que me escude del mundo, sola y desnuda ante ti, puedo sentirte mejor, tus manos rozando el aire que me rodea, y se que estas ahi, por una vez tengo la certeza. Y cuando todo esto acabe, el cielo sabe que no voy a ninguna parte, no sin ti.

The lovely bones
Or how life goes on.
It was the purest kind of love. Unspoken, carefree, hopeless love. The kind that smacks you in the face with its force. The kind that's hidden in soft caresses and words of goodbye. The kind that we shared.
It spoke to me in shushed whispers, your arm drapped over my shoulder, my head on your chest, as we both tried to disguise the lust with slumber, the ache with laughter, a song we both sang, voices trembling, united, shuddering, longing, forlorn.
I doubt I'll ever feel a kind of love so naïve, so unexpecting. Maybe it was the fact that we knew the one night was the only night, that every minute shared, every word we spoke, could and probably would be the last. Your world and mine, so apart, clashing only by chance, and however much we try to stay entwined, we both know it was only a matter of time.
And it better stay that way too. You and I, it's a fight lost from the beginning. And though your song brings tears to my eyes, I just can't help but smile.
We'll keep the memories close to us, to let this pure, unspoken love stay innocent and alive forever in our mind.

Septiembre, Irlanda y una nueva vida
De vuelta a ti.
A tus verdes colinas, a tus playas de aguas grises y profundas, a tus frías mañanas, a tu cálido abrazo. A ti.
De vuelta al lugar donde todo fue, donde aprendí a ser yo. De vuelta, contigo a mi espalda, un susurro, una sombra, tú. De vuelta a sentirme sincera, a arrancarme la piel del cuerpo para tejerme una nueva. A creer que el mañana es posible.
Mis raíces ancestrales, grabadas a fuego entre mis genes y mi media alma, me llaman a gritos. Y por una vez, ahora que puedo, voy a responder a la llamada.
Éire, a chuisle mo chroí.

El diario de Noah no es realista...
...y las canciones de amor se equivocan.
En este mundo en el que parece ser que Hollywood lleva la voz cantante, me encuentro a la busca de ese amor perfecto, sincero, altruista, que creía haber encontrado.
Pero ahora me veo forzada a mirar atrás y recapacitar. Y mientras las horas pasan y los días se me escapan en este rincón de mi habitación, no me queda más que preguntarme porqué.
¿Porqué no quisiste escucharme?
¿Porqué no luchas por lo que es tuyo?
¿Porqué tuvo que llegar a este punto, en el que mi salud en juego me obliga a detenerme y cambiar de dirección?
Es solo un tiempo, y se que estás ahí a la espera, pero no se si a la vuelta de unos días, unas semanas, algo habrá cambiado y podrás ser esa persona que me sujete cuando caiga, que confie en mí para caer de cuando en cuando, que me haga sonreir. Si habrás encontrado tu motivo para ser, como dice la canción, junco que se tuerce pero siempre sigue en pie.
Si tendrás el valor de luchar por algo, y no permitir que el futuro te destroce, y sobretodo, si tendrás el valor de luchar por mí.

Licor Azul
Tú. Siempre tú. Como una droga, mi mente vuelve a ti cada segundo, deseando, arañando un recuerdo, un segundo, un beso, tú.
Nos rompieron la noche, tú en mi piel, yo en tu risa, entre las aguas del mar oscuro y profundo, tú y yo, siendo lo que no debemos ser, lo que no podemos ser. Nos robaron el tiempo, y tú me robaste el aire. No pudiste, no pude tenerte. Yo no era lo que tu deseabas.
Pero habría sido cualquier cosa, canción en tus labios, estrella en la noche, gata blanca. Habría sido tuya.
Y aun así, fui el licor azul que se desliza por tu garganta, el veneno que te mata, Donnie Darko.
Pero los sueños, buenos o malos, acaban, y este fue un sueño que se fue por la ventana del coche.

+ que ayer, - que mañana
Is it wrong?
Many times I've waited in the calm, warm room of mine, for an answer to that question. I'm turned to my left, you breathe right on my neck and I can't think anymore. You're there, and nothing else seems to matter.
But life can't always be that way.
I have to accept it, maybe. So I ask myself if this, what we have, this fucked up relationship, where you hide and I run, is right. We're one, we're torn, and we can't seem to find a way back. And then again, I realize we didn't have a say.
It was given to us, so much struggling, so much pain was undergone so we could have this now, ripping apart the seams of time and space, bringing you to my side.
Is it wrong that I love you? Is it wrong for me to hold such feelings? Yet, as you say, it was planned, it's all going according to a bigger plan, a bigger picture I fail to see. Just shut up and listen, now. Am I taking what's not mine? Are you supposed to be someone else's, somewhere else, a newborn child? Am I holding you back?
You say no, but your words are of deceit. You know as well as I do you stay for me. Now you say nothing, but you want to hold my hand. I can feel you behind me, breathing, making me cold.
Hold me tight and lie to me, tell me it's not wrong, we're not breaking any rules, not human nor divine. Tell me it's ok for me to love myself, that that's all there is to it, that you can't leave without me and surely up there they must know, for we're only half, apart. That it's just right for us to be together, nevermind that you withered long ago.
You're here, real and solid, for me to touch, when the light goes down, and I see myself in this mirror you've become. It is not wrong, you say, because I love you more than yesterday, and less than tomorrow, and then you point to my neck and I realize you're right.
On me, the rings, the lies and the hidden truth in them, and everything else we failed to say.

Don't give up
In these days, when things seem to go wrong, when there's nothing to hold on to, when the unknown is lurking and looming over us, don't give up. You're all I live and die for. And, as long as you stand by my side, I won't stop.
Let's go together, shoot to the moon so that if we miss, we'll land among the stars.
