Argentine Amor

A series of emails/love letters I've received since I arrived in Buenos Aires:

Me robaste..., Carlos Alberto Valiente

Cuando duermo, me robas los sueños,
y al despertar me robas las horas,
cuando camino, me robas los pasos
cuando respiro, me robas el aliento,
cuando pienso, me robas el pensamiento,
cuando lloro, me robas las lagrimas,
lo unico que no puedes robarme
es el corazon..!
porque me lo robaste, hace mucho tiempo...-


EL PRINCIPE VALIENTE



Vestido de otoño, trepare a una mariposa azul,
para alcanzar tus sueños...

Hi Erin,

I'm Alejo, we were talking together friday night at Los Cardones.

I really enjoyed the conversation we had and I realized that you are a very interesting girl.

I will send you another email soon inviting you to go out some night; do you agree?

So tell me what kind of program you prefer to do (going to drink something, to have dinner, to dance, to know a specific place you want to know, etc).

I'll be waiting for your answer.

I'm glad to have met you!

Alejo

My friend will be translating for me all I want to say to you, I could write it in spanish and I know you would understand, but I prefer it to do it this way...

First of all, I didnt write you sooner since I just met with my friend. Please dont think that I do this kind of things everyday. (Probably you would think it that way). Ill be honest with you, I really like you (I think that by what I did it shows it a little).

I would really like to see you so I can get to know you better (eventhough it would be hard for both with the language barier it I still want to try ;) to see if this can work out. Its hard that you will bealive me, but how can I explain that when you got close to the car I realized how much I liked your pretty eyes, voice and lips. Sounds crazy I know, but you caused all this. I would like to see you Thursday or Friday, whenever suits you better.

Here I leave my cel phone number. 1559458557

Goodbye Erine (I hope this is the correct way of spelling your name)


Santiago.

my favourites: "what kind of program you prefer to do," "Sounds crazy I know, but you caused all this."

I also received a grade 2-style Valentine's card with cartoon hearts and puppies. Seriously.

After my visit to the Recoleta Cemetery last week, a man pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket as I walked by him. It had his name and phone number on it!
