baby, I know it’s hard
not knowing how it’ll all work out
and with us being apart
try to figure how you deal with doubt
your whatifs I know
are real, but grey as well, my love
and I try to show
I think we can have all faith in love
I understand you, baby, but all I wanna say
why don’t you just
come over here
cause I will guide you with my mind
come over here
only one thing is for sure
nothing is this pure
come over here
just come over here
baby I can tell you
the step is just as big as you want it to be
and baby let me tell you
someday you will take the same step back with me
and you know
I will do
ev’rything for you
to make the step as small as possible
cause you know
half of me
is gone you see
the emptiness inside’s unbearable
I know that you feel it too, so
we have no idea what the future holds
all I know is that we can mold it
you know that almost nothing is forever
except our dedication
c’est encroyable, comment tu me manque
mon energie est tout juste la moitie
parce que tu me manque
je ne peus pas attendre jusqu’á je te peus tenir
jusqu’á ce moment-la tu me manque
mon esprit se tiens en équilibre instable
alors tu me manque
c’est encroyable, comment je t’aime
je ne l’ai jamais vit en celles couleurs, avec celle intensité
parce que je t’aime
et tu m’aime pour qui je suis, parce que je suis moi-même
puisque tu m’aime
nos esprits ne peuvent pas être separé, on doit se joindre
car je t’aime
reina and i wanted to go to a place where both of us hadn’t gone before. and although we first wanted to go to peru, this took a little too much time for the days we had left in brasil. so we took a plane to buenos aires and we had an amazing time. it is a very european old-fashioned city, reminding me a little of paris, with it’s grandeur on the one hand and it’s dirty places on the other.
4 days of dulce de lecce, empanadas, the malba museum, casa rosada and so much more.
i met my reina, talking about the beauty of marketing and music, the art of love and literature and our fascination with culture and other countries.
it was meant to be, i think.
but we were in the netherlands. so she already met the cold, the dutch and the water in general. i took almost every opportunity to show her the things that make us dutch to everyone who is not dutch and to everyone who is dutch. and you know what they say: “if it ain’t dutch, it ain’t much!” (and it’s probably warmer, too)…
so after learning about my background, i wanted to learn about hers too… so after having gone to south-korea to lecture, i went to brasil, salvador de bahia, to be exact.
and what an amazing and rich culture. of course, this is one of the places in brasil with the most history, as the portuguese landed just south of it in 1500. so staying with the most amazing hosts, showing me all of the things as if i were a local, i learned so much… about reina and actually also about myself. it is far too much to tell everything, but the pictures tell most of it. but shortly, we checked out salvador of course, some of the beaches north of it, beginning of the linha verde, pelourinho, we went to the beautiful chapada diamantina with it’s beautiful nature, etc. etc.
also we went to buenos aires, but i’ll show that in the next post.
like the sweetest candy
glistening
like the hottest breath
listening
the wakening of self
hybernating
waiting for the warmth of spring
anticipating
blossoming, blooming, growing
into youth, rebirth to self
like the sweetest dream
tasting
like some shining dew
falling
off my raising head
as I shake off the grey blanket
covering my eyes
enabling me to see
the warmth of my spring
