Who I'd like to meet: Quem me dá um pedacinho de chão, quando é de terra firme que preciso, ou um pedacinho do céu, se é o sonho que me faz falta.
Quem é mais que um ombro - é mão estendida, mente aberta, coração pulsante.
Aquele que entende meu desejo de voar, de sumir devagar...
O sol que seca minhas lágrimas, e a polpa que adoca ainda mais o meu sorriso.
O pássaro que me faz sorrir e sonhar, e a onda que me faz acalmar.
Aquele que me ouve ao telefone, mesmo quando a ligação é caótica, com o mesmo prazer e atenção que teria se estivesse olhando em meus olhos.
Quem fala e ouve com o olhar, mesmo distante, em sintonia telepática.
A lua nova, a estrela mais brilhante, a luz que me renova a cada instante, com múltiplas e inesperadas cores que cabem todas na minha íris.
Voce é aquele que diz “eu te amo“ sem medo de ser feliz!
Our reunion is coming. I guess you're a no show, eh? People were looking for you and I sent a link to some of your commericials. We all laughed together and remembered our Hobby. You always make people happy and laugh...you're good for the soul. I think you should come. You can stay with us. You could drive it in two days and gas is cheaper now, or you could fly...or take a boat or a train or...
We could walk our old streets and sneak cigarettes. :) I would give a million dollars to hug your neck again. You were my savior and I thank God you were there in that time of my life.
Blah, blah, blah...OK, gotta run and get busy. Blessings and favor...hugs and kisses...anything else I'm forgetting.
Hi ya, Sid! How's life in the Big Apple treating you these days? I'm sure you're breakin' a leg and breakin' hearts, as always! Just thought I'd stop by and give ya a shout! Btw, did you and Jasmine shake up the town while she was there? +:0)=
Actor Thomas Poarch, I was at a party tonight with lots of people from Prom, some of whom knew you and some of whom didn't, and even before the first person recognized your name it occurred to me how proud and how lucky I am to be working with you. You are a pleasure to know, professionally and personally. So thank you! See you soon.
