te deje ir

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

Cada vez que recuerdo, con demasiada nostalgia, la muerte de mi papá, no puedo sentir que él me dejó, o nos dejó, considerando al resto de mi familia, no siento el rencor del abandono que quisiera sentir. Estoy asimilando con dolor que lo dejamos ir.

Nos faltó valor para decirle, aunque sea al oido, quedate conmigo, te necesito, te quiero demasiado, todavía no he crecido lo suficiente, todavía necesito oir tu voz levantándome cada mañana, no tuve suficientes sermones, todavía no se si terminamos de ver Jocker completamente, en serio no quieres que te lea este libro, vuelveme a contar por milésima vez cuando estabas en la universidad, tenias razón cuando me dijiste que nunca encontraría otro padre como tú, quien me va decir abogada del diablo, quien me dedicará los boleros en la mañana, quien intentará acusarme de que mi sangre mató a una viuda negra, todavía se cocinar algunas cosas que no has provado, realmente si estoy dispuesta a regalarte mi primer sueldo, disculpame por acumular tanta mediocridad voy a cambiar… y tantas otras cosas con significado suficiente para retenerlo.

Ver a tu super heroe en la cama de un hospital no es agradable, tratas de sonreir con esa sonrisa que le negaste tantas veces, retienes las lágrimas, tienes una roca en la faringe y todavía te esfuerzas por sonreir con sinceridad. Tu super heroe indiscutible en tu mundo sin criptonita, respira y habla con dificultad, te prohibe contarle a sus familiares de su sufrimiento y te pregunta si estás yendo temprano a clases, todavía tiene en los ojos esa mirada que te hace sentir seguridad y protección, y te hace sentir vergüenza cuando fallas. Con una sonrisa demasiado forzada y los ojos a punto de reventar, mueves la cabeza a sus palabras porque una sola palabra podría llevarte a la desesperación.

Fui demasiado fuerte, pero no en el momento indicado.

Esa fue su herencia, algo fortaleza, algo de autosuficiencia, demasiada conciencia de mis actos y sentimiento de culpa.

No quiero fallar ahora, realmente necesito de tus consejos aunque sea durante mis pesadillas.

The Rolling Stones

Usually, I hate concerts. I am afraid about euphoric people, and I just want to run away. However, last night I went to see a concert in iMax, I saw a concert of The Rolling Stones in the cinema. There were about 200 people; ages vary between 20 and 70. I just had to pay nine dollars for the show; maybe it was 15 with candies, popcorn and some lemonade.
The movie (concert) was gorgeous, some people were euphoric but they were in their sits far away from me. They play many songs, but I knew just three, I have a lot of fun. Although the concert was great I learn some other thing there, precisely they were not about music or panic to people.

The most important knowledge of the night was: no matter anything, you must do that thing that you love doing. The second one: the age is not an impediment for nothing. The third and the last one: no vice, sickness or accident will kill you if you don’t want to die.

I’ll be specific. Keith Richards, the one that plays the guitar, said that they were there that day because they love doing this. All of them were about 65 years, they made their best. They have wrinkles, two of them have grey hair, and several times they stop to breath, but they were smiling during the concert because they were happy. Mick Jagger was dancing, singing, playing the guitar and the harmonica just like when he was 30, and he also was flirting with Christina Aguilera.

When I saw Keith Richards smoking all time, I thought that he may has an artificial lung. It is impossible smoking so much and being still alive or having the same lung. But, I realized that he was alive because he wanted to be.

Sometimes I hate, it’s most a special feeling of jealousy, people that in their 60s are able to move better than me in my 20s. Now, I realized that it is not a theme of ability or age; it is a theme of mind and heart.
