Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend

Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your hand.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer and when i wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bare my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.

Masterpiece

If you were the Mona Lisa
You'd be hanging in the Louvre
Everyone would come to see you
You'd be impossible to move
It seems to me is what you are
A rare and priceless work of art
Stay behind your velvet rope
But I will not renounce all hope

And I'm right by your side
Like a thief in the night
I stand in front of a masterpiece
And I can't tell you why
It hurts so much
To be in love with a masterpiece
Cause after all
Nothing's indestructible

From the moment I first saw you
All the darkness turned to light
An impressionistic painting
Tiny particles of light
It seem to me is what you're like
The "look but please don't touch me" type
And honestly it can't be fun
To always be the chosen one

And I'm right by your side
Like a thief in the night
I stand in front of a masterpiece
And I can't tell you why
It hurts so much
To be in love with a masterpiece
Cause after all
Nothing's indestructible
Nothing's indestructible
Nothing's indestructible
Nothing's indestructible

And I'm right by your side
Like a thief in the night
I stand in front of a masterpiece
And I can't tell you why
It hurts so much
To be in love with a masterpiece

And I'm right by your side
Like a thief in the night
I stand in front of a masterpiece
And I can't tell you why
It hurts so much
To be in love with a masterpiece
Cause after all
Nothing's indestructible
Cause after all
Nothing's indestructible

Me habré equivocado?

Recuerdo perfectamente el día de mi graduación de la U. Cuando escuché la carrera, como leía el título y todas esas vainas, lo primero que vino a mi mente fue: Me habré equivocado de carrera? Cuando hice el juramento junto a mis compañeros, volví a preguntarme "Me habré equivocado?" "Podré con esto?" Empezaron a rondar mil ideas en mi cabeza, la enseñanza es mal pagada, demasiado trabajo, no hay muchas cosas buenas que decir, aún así, habían pasado cinco años preparándome para ese momento... y tener dudas al final? Simplemente ridículo!

Pasó el tiempo, por cosas de la vida dejé el camino de la enseñanza y me dediqué a otros rubros.

Luego de un par de años lejos de los salones de clase, regreso. Y me he dado cuenta que jamás estuve equivocada. Que aún con el mal salario promedio en este país,  me apasiona enseñar. Quizás tuve que madurar un poco antes de darme cuenta del maravilloso don que es tocar la vida de otros.

Cada sábado despierto a las 4:30am. No me importa dormir poco, comer de prisa, alistarme en el menor tiempo posible, porque se que mis niños estarán ahí,  esperándome para que nos divirtamos juntos. Yo feliz de ver su progreso, de escucharlos preguntar por qué en inglés se escribe de un modo y se pronuncia de otro. Feliz de trabajar 9 horas seguidas, estar parada el 99% del tiempo, corrigiendo pronunciación, escritura. Feliz de notar que definitivamente la vida me ha regalado una hermosa oportunidad de dejarme a un lado y hacer a mis alumnos la prioridad para que cumplan sus sueños.

Gracias a esa persona que a pesar de todo lo que hemos pasado sigue viendo potencial en mi para sacar este proyecto adelante, gracias a la persona que sólo duerme tres horas cada viernes para ayudarme a preparar lo mejor de mi para esas 28 personitas que muy pronto estarán listos para dar otro paso.

Me enorgullece mucho decir: No me equivoqué!
