Sure Know Something

Sostener una conversación durante una hora y cuarenta minutos y sentir que han pasado apenas quince es algo que no me sucedía hace rato. ¿Me pasó contigo alguna vez? Creo que sí, mientras nos lo permitía la pésima batería de mi teléfono inalámbrico y antes de que te quedaras dormida. Anoche hablamos de círculos abiertos, de ciclos por cerrar, de compasión por los animales, de perros y gatos, de tendencias espirituales e insatisfacciones religiosas, de esta época del año tan propicia para cerrar y abrir cosas. Es necesario tomarse el tiempo para sanar y no salir corriendo a meterse en algo nuevo simplemente para matar el dolor. Ese error no volveré a cometerlo nunca, no dejaré que nadie más se olvide de su dolor conmigo. A la larga agradezco todas las cosas aprendidas: Quitarse la ropa no implica bajar la guardia, no es una opción permitir que alguien te haga daño, aunque tenga los motivos más altruistas o las intenciones más puras.

Fui muy feliz esta mañana trotando de nuevo por la Colina. Ir de salida es sumamente doloroso pero liberador, como esos últimos pasos antes de llegar a casa, cuando te duelen las pantorrillas y el sudor se te mete casi hasta los ojos.

I've been a gambler but I'm nobody's fool... Cada uno comete sus errores y aprende sus lecciones solito. Se respiran nuevos aires. Adoro Bogotá la primera semana de enero.

I've been up and down, I've been all around
I was mystified, almost terrified
But late at night I still hear you call my name

I've been on my own, I've been all alone
I was hypnotized, I felt paralyzed
But late at night I still want you just the same

I've been a gambler, but I'm nobody's fool
And I sure know something, sure know something
You showed me things they never taught me in school
And I sure know something, sure know something
No one can make me feel the way that you do
And I sure know something, aha

I was seventeen, you were just a dream
I was mesmerized, I felt scared inside
You broke my heart and I still can feel the pain

I've been counted out, I've had fear and doubt
I've been starry eyed, never satisfied
'Cause late at night I still need you just the same
Just the same

I've been a gambler, but I'm nobody's fool
And I sure know something, sure know something
You showed me things they never taught me in school
And I sure know something, sure know something
No one can make me feel the way that you do
And I sure know something, aha

I've been counted out, I've had fear and doubt
I've been starry eyed, never satisfied
'Cause late at night I still need you just the same
Just the same, yeah

I've been a gambler, but I'm nobody's fool
And I sure know something, sure know something
You showed me things they never taught me in school
And I sure know something, sure know something
No one can make me feel the way that you do
And I sure know something, sure know something
No one can tell me till I hear it from you
And I sure know something, sure know something
I've been a gambler, but I'm nobody's fool
Sure know something, sure know something
You showed me things they never taught me in school
Sure know something, sure know something
No one can make me feel the way that you do
