Incluso cuando te sientas sola
o la persona que más querías
de repente te ha dejado olvidada
a mí me gustaría que sonrías
Aunque no pueda verte en ese momento
sé que en la oscuridad te guiaría
la esperanza que nace con ese sentimiento
de alivio en la sofocante melancolia
No te rindas ni llores por ese frío Adiós
nuestras sendas aquí están escritas
Quizás como una larga canción
a la que nuestras voces le dan vida
El viento se lleva ese complejo sonido
para apartarnos por un tiempo
Porque algun día todo lo que perdimos
volverá por ese soñado reencuentro
Sonríe por el día de mañana
él puede llevarse tu tristeza
Entonces volará de nuevo tu alma
y verás que todo valió la pena
Sería lindo decirte que después
nada asi volverá a ocurrir
pero la realidad es dificil de entender
y de ella no podremos huir
Sin embargo seremos más fuertes
más sabios en el corazón
Y aunque parezca que pueda vencerte
no dudes de tu gran valor
Porque yo no dudo ni un segundo
que detrás de esos ojos oscuros
Detrás de ese brillo como ninguno
se halla la grandeza de un ser único
Ojalá que en los peores momentos recuerdes este mensaje, y nunca olvides que estaré para ti

I didn't believe you existed in the first place
But when you did
I had the crippling fear that you would not want me
To me, beauty and happiness were always incomplete
I didn't believe that salt water could damage paper
But when it did
It was though my eyes were true to life
Speaking words of sorrow yearning for you

love isn't at all
the way it's portrayed in the movies-
instead, it is dancing on eggshells,
ignoring the sharp pains in your feet
because the music is still playing

love is
ripping grass out of the ground
tugging until you get to the very roots
of the person you love

love is
stained glass
it colors the windows of the soul
and filters the light that enters
in the most delightful of ways

LASTLY,
love is the headache after a party
knowing you had a fun time while it lasted
but now it's dark
and the fun is over
this is how love is to me... it might not be the same for you

these words have changed me
Dani Just Dani Aug 2018
imagine,
sitting in some rocks
at the border of the beach,
wondering,
feeling adventurous,
Asking the milky way for
permission
as our lips interlock ,
and our minds become one,

the sound of the sea becomes our bed,
the light the stars emit,
becomes the electricity
between touches,

both of us not able to open our eyes,
as the moons reflection in the ocean
showers us with gratitude,
the blood racing though my veins,
gravity pulling me down as
my breathing becomes heavier

i feel high on happiness and adrenaline,

who would have thought the next moment
i would be drowning in the sea.
why am i like this?

I used to play the piano
Not well.
Not by any technical standard.

But I used to love that my fingers
Could drift and thunder across the keys,
without heeding any advice or rule,
and make such divine,
Impossible sounds
And I could love the crashing biting chords
that my lonely fingers bore.

I used to play the piano.
Bravely.

In most people
Bravery is made to die.

I stopped playing the piano.
The world had begun to play me
Instead.

and soon
every rule I had ever neglected
every song I had sung off key
every bit of myself that was brave enough
to sacrifice the stress of imperfection
dissipated.

Evaporated.

Scorned out by the heat of the games
the world was playing me in.

I used to play the piano.
Fearlessly
Thoughtlessly
Blissfully

there was something so enchanting
about not understanding
and not caring that I did not understand.

I wish we did not waste so much time
worrying about those notes that ring so
out of tune and time
Why can’t we see?
not all imperfections are mistakes.
those wild, winding notes–
they are not always lost.

intention and perfection are not
one in the same

I used to play the piano.
I used to be brave enough
To live with that untamed,
unapologetic
kind of bravery.

I am trying
To learn to live like that
again.
