"Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life."
— Bob Marley

[I carry your heart with me]

I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart)

llevo tu corazón conmigo (lo llevo en mi corazón)

I am never without it (anywhere I go you go, my dear);

nunca estoy sin él. (donde quiera que voy vas tu, querida mía).

And whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)

y lo que sea que yo haga es tu obra, encanto)

I fear no fate (For you are my fate, my sweet)

no temo al destino (ya que vos sos mi destino, mi dulce)

I want no world (For beautiful you are my world, my true)

no quiero ningún mundo (porque hermosa vos sos mi mundo, mi certeza)

And it's you are whatever a moon has always meant

y eso es vos sos lo que sea que una luna siempre pretendió

And whatever a sun will always sing is you.

y lo que sea que un sol cante sos vos

Here is the deepest secret nobody knows.

este es el secreto mas profundo que nadie conoce

(Here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

(esta es la raíz de la raíz y el brote del brote

And the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows

y el cielo del cielo de un árbol llamado vida que crece

higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)

más alto de lo que el alma puede esperar o la mente ocultar)

And this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

y es la maravilla que mantiene a las estrellas separadas

I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart).

llevo tu corazón (lo llevo en mi corazón)

E. E. cummings

Te extraño tanto hermanita...
