... Viceversa

Tengo miedo de verte
necesidad de verte
esperanza de verte
desazones de verte.

Tengo ganas de hallarte
preocupación de hallarte
certidumbre de hallarte
pobres dudas de hallarte.

Tengo urgencia de oírte
alegría de oírte
buena suerte de oírte
y temores de oírte.

O sea,
resumiendo
estoy jodido
y radiante
quizá más lo primero
que lo segundo
y también
viceversa.

Mario Benedetti

... Love

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

1 Corinthians 13

... Lo mejor de la vida

Es econtrar a alguien quien te quiera, te comprenda, y te considere.
