tal vez - perhaps.

tal vez...pero yo quiero un amor perfecto
mi corazon es muy triste.

Perhaps...because I want the perfect love
My heart is very sad.

the above ain't lyrics of a song...but the term "tal vez" did stem from ricky martin's new hit of the same name. before i even checked out the meaning of "tal vez" in the dictionary, the song seemed to call out to me..."perhaps if i had done this...or that, perhaps if i had acted on my feelings...perhaps". when i did find out the meaning of "tal vez", i got a total shock because i had been able to read the meaning of the song through the feelings emoted by the words and music.

as i heard the song for the first time, my mind just filled with mental images of days past. i wrote the two lines above in spanish, and not english, simply because spanish (stemming from latin) is the language of love. wait...i'm so cringing as i type out the letters "L-O-V-E". many a time i've wondered how i could write so eloquently about the four-letter word, yet never have had experienced it before (in the romantic sense, that is).

perhaps...when i do meet THE ONE, i'd stop writing such angst-filled words. though words are really all i have.

perhaps...i've been pushing love away in order to keep these words.

despues de todo, no soy nada sin estas palabras.

after all, i'm nothing without these words.
