Primer Gusano en el Estomago

La niña no tan niña Claudia tomó asiento en el centro, entre su misma madre y su amigo Raúl. Los niños no tan niños (compañeros de clase, supuse) tendrían 11 ó 12 años; la madre era de mi misma edad.


Acudían en mi taxi a una fiesta de cumpleaños. La madre de Claudia se habría hecho cargo también de Raúl, en uno de esos favores que suelen hacerse los padres cuando no todos pueden (o quieren) acompañar a sus respectivos hijos.


Ella, la madre de Claudia, ahora miraba a la calle a través de su ventanilla mientras los niños no tan niños permanecían serios, formales y en silencio. Aunque nada más lejos que la realidad: A través del espejo y al menos durante un instante, me percaté también del dedo meñique de él tratando de rozarse adrede con el meñique de Claudia. Luego, siempre atentos a cualquier giro visual de la madre, se lanzaron un par de miradas nerviosas, sonriendo con los labios apretados y las mejillas (al menos las de ella) en creciente sonrojo. Sin duda eran novios primerizos, clandestinos.


Intuí que ese miedo a ser sorprendidos por la madre era nuevo para ambos. ¿Miedo o morbo?, pensé. En lo que dura el primer amor todo es misterio, incertidumbre; pureza de un instinto desinteresado, no sexual (o al menos, por ahora). Apenas aprendes a besar, y cada beso es un mundo. Y del roce entre dos dedos haces un mundo. Nunca sabes qué vendrá después o si lo sabes no te atreverás, por el momento, a dar el paso por miedo a tropezar y aparentar torpeza ante los importantísimos ojos de tu primer “Raúl” o tu primera ”Claudia”. El amor más puro es torpe y huele a nuevo. Como recién salido de fábrica. Con sus precintos.


El segundo amor ya no es lo mismo. Está viciado: Arrastra la experiencia del primero. O al menos, así lo recuerdo.

Flake

I know she said it's alright
But you can make it up next time
I know she knows it's not right
There ain't no use in lying
Maybe she thinks I know something
Maybe maybe she thinks its fine
Maybe she knows something I don't
I'm so, I'm so tired, I'm so tired of trying

It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means no
So don't tell me you might just let it go
And often times we're lazy
It seems to stand in my way
Cause no one NO not no one
Likes to be let down

I know she loves the sunrise
No longer sees it with her sleeping eyes
And I know that when she said she's gonna try
Well it might not work because of other ties and
I know she usually has some other ties
And I wouldn't want to break 'em, nah, I wouldn't want to break 'em
Maybe she'll help me to untie this but
Until then well, I'm gonna have to lie to you.

It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means no
So don't tell me you might just let it go
And often times we're lazy
It seems to stand in my way
Cause no one no not no one
Likes to be let down
It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means no
So don't tell me you might just let it go

The harder that you try baby, the further you'll fall
Even with all the money in the whole wide world
Please please please don't pass me
Please please please don't pass me
Please please please don't pass me by

Everything you know about me now baby you gonna have to change
You gonna have to call it by a brand new name
Please please please don't drag me
Please please please don't drag me
Please please please don't drag me down

Just like a tree down by the water baby I shall not move
Even after all the silly things you do
Please please please don't drag me
Please please please don't drag me
Please please please don't drag me down

Es mejor

Es mejor Sorprender que Ilusionar

Precious

If God has a master plan
That only He understands
I hope it's Your eyes He's seeing through

Broken

With everything ahead of us
We left everything behind
But nothing that we needed
At least not at this time
And now the feeling that I'm feeling
Well it's feeling like my life is finally mine
With nothing to go back to we just continue to drive
Without you I was broken
But I'd rather be broke down with you by my side
I didn't know what I was looking for
So I didn't know what I'd find
I didn't know what I was missing
I guess you've been just a little too kind
And if I find just what I need
I'll put a little peace in my mind
Maybe you've been looking too
Or maybe you don't even need to try
Without you I was broken
But I'd rather be broke down with you by my side
With everything in the past
Fading faster and faster until it was gone
Found out I was losing so much more than I knew all along
Because everything I've been working for
Was only worth nickels and dimes
But if I had a minute for every hour that I've wasted
I'd be rich in time, I'd be doing fine
Without you I was broken
But I'd rather be broke down with you by my side
