Until that moment when possibility passes and we have spiraled into just friends...when you see me as your confidant but not your lover...when I am your solace but not your passion...when you love me but are not in love with me...

So stop trying to mark me as yours...stop trying to keep me for yourself...stop wrapping me in your inky jealous black auras...

Until you decide that you want to be my confidant and my lover...my solace and my passion...when you love me and are in love with me...

I love the ones from New York especially, where Frida shows how different New York is from Mexico City. They almost look like collages, with symbolic objects in random places. We started our morning at breakfast on the roof of...
