Today’s Question by Raymond

I wrote this for my girlfriend today last year. Although I love her, when I gave it to her, she got very upset and hurt. I told her she didn’t need to be upset because i love her, i was just expressing how i felt in the moment, but being a girl, she got very sensitive and wouldn’t talk to me for weeks. Eventually she got over it, but I wonder, is it that bad?

Tripped over the glass as it rolled down the street,
Leaving only an echo
In the dark full moon night.

Displaced in time and space,
The shadows lined up against the wall.

Cautiously I crawled, ready for a leap of faith.
These thoughts, these thoughts,
Do not escape me, do not escape me,

How common can this be?

Amused yourself to death,
You hardly know what it is to live
To breathe, to be, to touch, the hand that loves you.

To see the ocean for what it is, to see me for what I am
Simplicity has escaped you never to return.

My heart cries for you, lost in your maze you created without any substance.

Those eyes that look to you, those words they speak to you,
Is nothing but a figment of your imagination.
You wish it were true, but darling, let me tell you
It’s not!
It’s not what you think it is. It will never be.

You want to live your life this way,
Live it, it’ yours, not mine,
But don’t expect me to be there,
Don’t expect me to hold your hand while you copulate someone else.

Don’t, it will never be.

Creo que 1 sola cosa no puede darle felicidad a nadie, creo que la vida, esos momentos que nos quita el aliento y nos deja algo que nos hará recordarlo.

Dear Mr.Coelho,

The little star on the left shoulder of “the other you” (meaning future wife/husband) it really could be seen?

You know I believe and I’ve seen impossible things happen, so I am asking you seriously here: :) :) :)

Because I know the one or the ones that should carry that star (for me) were not born yet or they live on the other side of the plannet. For ex. I had to fly 2500 KM and over more then 5 countrieas to meet my ex-husband. Yuu need force and lot of gasoline to be able to that. My sacriffice wasn’t appreciated, of course.

The reality is that there are so very few happy couples on Earth, that really share true love. Very few. And you are a blessed one, Mr. Coelho, and Mrs. Christina Coelho also.

Have my entire admiration and deep respect! :) :)
