runaway

I have gone through so many things in the last couple of months. In fact, it is hard to believe that 2 months ago I was walking the streets of a small Mediterranean town and enjoying our last day in southern Italy. One month ago I moved out of the house I had lived in for the past 4 years. My first home since I separated. One month ago in a whirlwind of blessings and determination we moved in together to an apartment closer to the city and above never ending clouds of green.

We are happy, all three of us. We are loving this change in our lives. So today, I am taking the day to clean my new home and listening to music. Then a song by Los Pericos started playing. This song Jimmy declared was our song on our second date. We were driving to the Nissan Pavilion to a concert on his beloved mustang convertible "Jim". I didn't really pay attention to the song then. I have listened to a few times after but never until today did it feel so perfect. Listening to it made me smile today. It is so simple, yet it is so much our story....



Cuídame bien, que lo mío es serio,
quiero que estés a mi lado esta vez
Voy a fumar mientras te espero,
Voy a formar, un espacio mejor.

Runa, runa, runa runaway, away
Runa, runa, runa runaway, away

Voy a escribir con nubes tu nombre,
voy a soñar con tu cara hoy,
voy a pedir que nunca te vayas
quiero escuchar, más palabras de amor.
Runa, runa, runa runaway, away
Runa, runa, runa runaway, away

Cuídame bien, que siempre me pierdo
Quiero que estés, a mi lado esta vez
Voy a tomar tu mano en mi mano,
para formar un espacio mejor.

Runa, runa, runa runaway, away
Runa, runa, runa runaway, away

away, away away
away, away away

Cuídame, cuidame bien, que lo mío es serio.
