Amor... Amar


amor... amar is a song by camilo sesto. he wrote the music, and in this particular case, he used a poem by lucía bosé as the lyrics. one specific line tells us:

"si tu dolor fuera mío... y el mío tuyo
qué bonito sería... amor... amar"

which translates to:

"if your pain were mine... and mine yours
how beautiful it would be... love... to love"

ever since i heard that song, i've always linked pain to love. i guess i've always known it, but finally i can put words to that feeling. and to describe love like that, to feel each other's pain, is just lovely. it's not about happiness, it's not about being together forever, it's not about gifts, dinners or letters. no... if i cry when you cry... and you cry when i cry... then it's meant to be.

love and pain... inseparable.

let's get hurt.

have a happy (painful?) thursday.

PS: i wrote this wednesday night... i prefer to talk about love under the moon's silhouette. it just makes more sense. ssshhhh ;)
