The Angel of Love

After his death, the angel of death took his hand to help him leave plane and help him move on, whatever it meant. When they had arrived to the ghost plane, the angel told Paulo: "now, you go alone, there are some things you gotta learn and see your life in perspective to give you closure and help you continue with your afterlife journey". The peaceful man kept walking, surprisingly he wasn't scared, he was simply wondering what was next. 

After he passed through a shinning portal, he met someone who looked awfully familiar, but Paulo couldn't place his face. The man with a kind face introduced himself: "I'm the angel of love, or as many know me I'm one of the cupids in this world". Paulo, thought for a moment: "Cupid? Well, after meeting the angel of death I guess nothing should surprise me". After starring at the Angel of love for a moment, he said: "Why did you fail me? Why did I end up divorced twice with no kids and only material things to miss?". Cupid, who had beed through this many times said: "I did not fail you, I put you together with the sweetest person you ever met, the person who loved you the most. I rarely say this, but you two had the purest love there is and still you let him go". Paulo, feeling like his privacy had been trespassed because that relationship had been his biggest secret, claimed: "But I'm not gay! I told him from the start I wasn't and I needed to go for my dream, to have a happy family, with a wife, a white pinket fence and kids. Me with another guy was not meant to be". Cupid, looked at him, sadly - Cupid tended to get too involved with his charges - and said: "And even after all this time, you still don't get it. There's no such thing like love not meant to be nor happiness only between a woman and a man. It was all a misundertanding from some words said a couple thousand years. Love is simply love, love is bigger than sexes, love is an energy. Love is the one thing in this world powerful enough to create happiness and without it it's not worth it to live. Humans live for love." 

Paulo remembered those times hidden with that guy, that guy that had the power to make him smile, to make his sorrows go away, to make the world better. Paulo thought of how bad he'd like to be back then, back in one of those nights at the old house where they use to meet or at the restaurant outside the city where they used to go when he had an excuse good enough to go away a couple of hours without the people from his other life realizing. He remembered the good times, the joy of making love to someone so different from the others and without realizing he smiled and a tear came down his cheek. Cupid interrupted him and said: "See? You had true love, you were the love of his life and he was yours. You were too scared and let him get away. Now continue with this journey because you've kept him waiting long enough".

A prior birthday epiphany

I'm actually less than an hour I'm turning 23 and it's been quite a journey. in less than a year I went from heaven to hell back and forth so many times I lost count. I went from being surrounded b pole I loved in a way I never expected to being a stranger in my own hometown. To losing myself and learning about the kid I used I see in the mirror, to being happy to let the sadness tear me up from the inside.  Yes, I grew up, I was surprised, I allowed myself to be dissapointed by people for one last time, I let the wall keeping me away from falling for a guy down. They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, I say fight back. There are lessons I must never forget, and I mean it when I say never. The first comes to friends. Friends are magical beings that appear in your life and are loyal to you no matter what. They'd take the bullet for you. They'd swallow their sadness to cheer you up. Friends are beyond time and space, beyond destiny and destinations...

First time

There are many first times. We crave them. Our first time outside the coutry, first time on our own, first time doing something crazy, or simply "the" first time. However, there are first times we don't know they are first times 'till it's too late. For example, our first time truly in love. When we're teenagers we have crushes, we think they are our first loves till we realize they're not. As we grow older we have our first kiss and, well, hopefully later, our first time. What we seem to forget is that we rarely share all those first times with the same person, that only happens in movies. Our first love comes later, when we know ourselves, when we less expect it. Our first love comes when you less expect it, that moment when you're off guard, when you might not want to be in love, when love is too silly to believe in.  As we grow older we meet new and more interesting people and there's someone, someone with whom you share a certain connecti...

To The Object Of My Affection

I, from another land, met you in the summer, and you from another time, made your way as my lover,  I was reckless and didn't see the moon,  shining brighter, gravitating around you, and though I, I never was one for strings attached. l let you in, to be part of my life. Later the fall came, turning leaves in red, and so promises were made, nice things were said. It showed me that usual as you there are few, Cause you know no season, they avoid you, And though I, I never was one for sharing, Let me say, when you sleep, I lay staring. Finally an early winter came and it's far gone, I had no idea what was it like not spend it alone, I get it now, we're just outlaws of love, running away from anyone with a soul. And though I never was one for happiness, I summon thee and farewell loneliness.
