Growing up in Argentina and my son Warrin is what I'm all about.
You’re part fantasy, part reality, so you have this effect on me that I’m starting to need and crave. It’s a feeling really, some surreal state of mind that I reach when I’m with you. So don’t leave my side, just stay... Let me explore a part of me that I’ve been wanting to understand, a part of me that has been there... just locked away. Don’t let go or walk away... please just stay. Bring me joy, bring me sadness, bring me all aspects of life. Summon all of my senses; rage, ecstasy, euphoria... make me feel alive. Last, grant me love and its bittersweet touch. Give me everything but give me nothing at all. Don’t go...

Mania
El juego de la vida Ayer en tu cuarto encontré una caja... La abrí y vi muchas fotos y postales, también cartas y otros efectos personales. Tal vez yo no debí abrirla, aunque tal vez... tal vez eso era lo que tú querías. Encontré tu juego de barajas que me enseñaste a jugar. Y escondido ahí vi un libro muy viejo. Este mismo que ahora leo.... Yo pensé que te conocía, pero realmente nada yo sabía. No es secreto que el ser yo quien estuvo a tu lado, me hizo sentir como el menos indicado... y es que no sabes que las cosas en mi vida ya han cambiado. Perdóname que solamente una vez te escribí. Y perdona que cuando vine, solo fue para verte partir. Hoy el juego de la vida tu lo haz ganado, El juego en que yo creí haber ya fracasado. Pero gracias por enseñarme esa última lección, por que Coty sin saberlo... cambiaste tú mi corazón.

El juego de la vida
At first there's reason to be wary "Stepping out"...it can be scary. So much of me feels left behind, but is it really changing who I am?   Just a thought, just one reflection, yielding the courage to change directions. A moment at last, to understand the soul, guided and not cursed, by the man above. The truth of the matter is I never changed course, but a life that's not lived, that's a worthy remorse. Yes, so much of me I've left behind, for its already played part in who I am.

A new direction
Life's like a journey that never stops. You're failing and learning and always moving on. You're then joined by people whom you learn to love. But ultimately... Life's that walk, that you must go on your own. Embrace this truth: you are expected to have faults. But no more than all the virtues that you've got. Never define yourself by the number of flaws, but on your willingness to be better, and wanting to grow. It is true there are yet some, who of this they don't know. And could somehow even, make you question your own worth. Don't be sad, don't resent, we each learn at our own pace. And remember, true love always sees flaws, as only a phase. Whenever he shows and in whatever his form, by that true love, you'll then one day be joined. But even then, remain aware ... Life's that walk, that you must still go on your own.

Walking alone...but not
One, It was real, it was definitely not a dream Two, loving you I found, I was good at Three, again within the hour, you ran back to him Four, I was happy and so were you, for that I thank you Five, having good timing is the luxury of very few Six, true love will sometimes last but for a minute or two Seven, you came my way and I let you come Eight, you chose to stay and I let you stay Nine, you soon wanted to go...I'll try and let you go Ten...I want to scream. But I will admire you and love you still Eleven, I respect you, no one's to blame for how we each feel Twelve, not a fact...but perhaps it was only me, for whom it was real.

Facts
By Luis Ramos (In memory of a good friend, father and his love for his son) Forgive me Father for I am to sin... Yet...hallowed be thy name   if thou really art in heaven. Yeah...in heaven. Here on Earth however, this shall be my last prayer. So I plea...my daily bread, give unto him like you gave to me. And as with the lilies of the field, clothe him...I know you will. Lead him not into thinking that this is his fault, but may he always believe of his father's great love. Deliver him from false promises sent from above, and may someone be there for him, in ways I cannot. Thy will be done, though that's always the case. May thy will be then to guide him, when he's in distress. Yes, help him see that he won't know his own strength, until he realizes being strong is his last option left. Yours is the kingdom, the power, the glory...whatever. Let me watch over him then, let us somehow be together. So despite that on earth things didn't go better, he can enjoy of my presence now and then and forever. Forgive me father...forgive me... For I don't think you're in heaven. I just hoped someone would hear these, the words...of my very last prayer.

One last prayer
It's usually late at night, while reminiscing about the past, that I'm taken to a time, when I could fully be your dad. Yet circumstances change, and not always for the best. But Warrin, know that I will wait, to reunite with you, says fate. Yes, things are not like I once dreamed, this was definitely unforeseen. But though it's difficult the ordeal, we'll make that father-son dream real. It's usually late at night, ...it can get pretty dark. But you've become my one bright star, so please...don't forget about your dad.

A dream now altered
I’m a quarter of a century old...here’s my story to you all: I’m a father of 2 children, truly intense couple years, as I became not just their "papa" but also a chemical engineer. I have learned 4 languages thus far and have worked at a nuclear plant. I’ve learned NEVER to judge anyone and then dare to give advice…for circumstances are unknown anyhow, so ALWAYS think before it twice. I’ve been married, I’ve been divorced, I’ve fought cancer and I won. I’ve been shown what real friends act like, that sometimes “family” ain’t your blood. I’ve experienced the truest love and the deepest heartbreak both, I’ve made bad and good decisions…no regrets in any of those. I’m 25 years old and have seemingly lived through a lifetime, but though the road is still long, I am confident right now. Because for all those problems ahead, now there’s these lessons I’ve learned, where there’s value in none more than finally knowing what is hope.

Already a lifetime.
It took me one summer night to find you, we talked for hours until late, we didn't care. It was like talking to that friend I long knew. It was the start of something new, something great. I took my wall down and so did you, bringing us closer, the unusual pair. Never wanting more, but feelings grew, thus ending our journey seems now unfair. And though I want you and need you right here I understand that your love wasn't meant for me. We saw ourselves happy, but it was only in our dreams, for if we wake up tomorrow, you're much happier with him. But no space or time can ever make me forget that when I gasped for air, it was you who I met. Reminding me that true love can always be there, you healed my heart...that's something rare...not to regret.

Something rare...not to regret.
There was a time I used to pray that I always kept my faith in love, You then came that summer day as one gift from the man above. Yes, our hearts were afraid to love, but we put all cards on the table. Not knowing it wouldn't be enough that reality would turn unstable. Like that old song we used to sing, while holding hands on Friday night. It's lyrics talked of our love's spring, a love trapped short in borrowed time. It'll take more time to believe it. Hardly any left for some grieving. But, Love can be found after it's tossed! Joy can come back after it's gone! Only one thing's left for true healing and that is found while forgiving. Because after all is said and done, our paths still connect forevermore.
