E Se...

Será verdade que o "verdadeiro amor" vence sempre? Estará o "amor" obrigado a ultrapassar obstáculos para provar que é verdadeiro, que é sentido, que é "para sempre"? Existirá de facto esse "amor intemporal"? O que será de nós senão acreditar que sim???????

A ficção insiste nos finais felizes, mas à minha volta - felizmente - tenho exemplos de amores de uma vida, de encontros inevitáveis, que mais cedo ou mais tarde a vida encarregou-se de fazer acontecer. Uns que venceram a distância, outros que não hesitaram à mudança. Amores por vezes encontrados do outro lado do mundo, outras, mesmo a nosso lado...

Da ficção para a realidade, cada vez mais estou rodeada de histórias nem sempre simples, mas felizes, que apenas reforçam a minha crença romântica... E é por isso que: "eu acredito no destino!"

Uma vez mais voltei a ser Julieta... "Letters to Juliet" ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqva2klb9E4 ) é uma comédia romântica muito leve e bem disposta que relata um amor que esperou 50 anos para ser vivido, e um outro que resolveu não correr o mesmo risco e acreditar no sentimento.

Recomendo às "sonhadoras, lamechas, românticas incorrigíveis" como eu!

"We were both young when I first saw you.

I close my eyes, and the flashback starts,

I'm standing there,

On the balcony in summer air.

I see the lights, see the party, the ballgowns.

See you make your way through the crowd,

And say, "Hello", Little did I know,

That you were Romeo, You were throwing pebbles,

And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet.

"And I was crying on the staircase,

Begging you, "Please don't go".

And I said,"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.

I'll be waiting, all that's left to do is run.

You be the prince, and I'll be the princess,

It's a love story, baby, just say, 'yes'."

So I sneak out to the garden to see you,

We keep quiet, 'cause we're dead if he knew,

So close your eyes,

Escape this town for a little while.

'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter,

And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet.

"But you were everything to me,

Begging you, "Please don't go".

And I said,"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.

I'll be waiting, all that's left to do is run.

You be the prince, and I'll be the princess,

It's a love story, baby, just say, 'yes'."

"Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel.

This love is difficult, but it's real.

Don't be afraid, we'll make it of this mess,

It's a love story, baby, just say, 'yes'.

"Well, I got tired of waiting,

Wondering if you were ever coming around.

My faith in you was fading,

When I met you on the outskirts of town.

And I said,"Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone.

I keep waiting for you, but you never come.

Is this in my head, I don't know what to think,

"You knelt to the ground, And pulled out a ring and said,

"Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone.

I love you, and that's all I really know.

I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress,

It's a love story, baby just say yes.
