Sillas vacías

Es cierto que el ser humano se mueve, entre otras mil o dos mil pulsiones, por una permanente sensación de insatisfacción. Dicho así suena caprichoso y egoísta por lo que matizo, para mi que el alma humana se diseñó como un motor que se alimenta de lo que llegará y cuesta forzarla a ver y disfrutar lo que es, en otras palabras, a vivir y regocijarse en el ahora, de esta forma los logros no son nunca completos, los triunfos son siempre parciales, las alegrías siempre albergan algún pero o la plenitud siempre extraña alguna pieza en el segundo siguiente al éxtasis.

Vuelvo de mis callejones, de mis rutas olvidadas y de revisitar las barras que tantas noches me han auspiciado y traigo conmigo la sensación de que solamente he engordado a la nostalgia de volver a estar con mi gente, como ayer.

Supongo que forma parte del juego de la vida, el pasar página y olvidarnos de nuestros ojitos niños, de nuestro yo más gamberro, del exceso gratificante, de que el tiempo sólo tiene valor si se aprovecha y rellena con 60 segundos de distancia recorrida, renunciar a todo aquello que ponga en riesgo nuestro adocenado status quo... El caso es que traigo el sabor agridulce del amante que no se esperaba; del puzzle inconcluso a falta la pieza central, el del ponente que con su auditorio repleto ensombrece su sonrisa por las dos sillas vacías de la segunda fila.

I had to leave you in Galway
but i think about you every day
in the morning and in the afternoon
I wish that i could see you soon

and when i heard you i felt so fine
it was like there was
nothing left on my mind
it was like Rockaway Beach in the month of June
I wish that i could see you soon

I have no plans to meet you babe,
I had a million things to do babe,
But it hit my heart with a harpoon,
I wish that i could see you soon
-- The angels go
How long do you can't see her?
And i'm like - the sooner the better
do you really think she'll wait for you?
Well i have no way to say and there's nothing i can do
Well i have no way to say and there's nothing i can do

-- go!

(not i see?)

Now that i'm across the sea i wonder if
you're gonna wait for me
or if you're gonna find
a new boy to spoon
I wish that i could see you soon

And if you
wait a little my pretty friend
until I come back to hold your hand
would be like bugs when they break through the cocoon
you know
I wish that i could see you soon

It has been a while
since i felt like this
and now i've found someone i really miss
under the sun
under the moon
I wish that i could see you soon
-- Angels!
How long do you can't see her
And i'm like - the sooner the better
do you really think she'll wait for you?
And i'm like
there's no way to say and there's nothing i can do
And there's no way to say and there's nothing i can do
-- go!

(...)

How long do you can't see her
And i'm like, well, the sooner the better
do you really think she'll wait for you?
And i'm like
there's no way to say and there's nothing i can do
And there's no way to say and there's nothing i can do
And there's no way to say and there's nothing i can do
no way to say and there's nothing i can do
