Mi J se fue. Ahora sé que descansa, por fin descansa. No más llorar por que sus hermanos se llevan las mejores cosas, no más sufrir las ofensas de la humillación materna. J está durmiendo, esperando que llegue de nuevo el momento de encontrarnos para volver a bailar, a comer toneladas de hamburguesas y papas fritas, a charlar horas y horas sobre Pearl Jam y los discos que le regalabas a todo mundo menos a mí.
Y me hubiera gustado verte cumplir tu sueño. Querías ser la única mujer en hacerme cambiar de opinión en cuestiones de matrimonio. No pudiste. Y ahora menos. ¿Para eso te hubiera gustado que me enamorara yo de tí, para que me dejaras botado a la mitad de nuestra aventura (o desventura, según se mire)?. No, J, prefiero llorarte y lamentar tu eterna ausencia, que extrañar tu cuerpo y tus besos y tus abrazos... que bueno, tus abrazos si los voy a extrañar. J, es momento de soltar tu mano y de que vueles, de que te vayas a donde tienes que estar. Adiós, J. Y de nuevo, Te Quiero. Y esta vez es en serio: te dejo ir de mi lado. No más Bobbi Wan Guinobi y Padmé Lalalá. No más guardaespaldas superpoderoso, no más contar con que la Fuerza Esté contigo (que siempre estará conmigo, gracias a tí).
Descansa En Paz, Julieta. Descansa En Paz.
PD: No podía dejarte ir sin recordarte lo siguiente: En 1989 descubrí la música de Billy Joel, en 1990 me di cuenta, por tu status de "niña bien", de que eras una "Uptown Girl". Y he aquí el secreto. Ese es. Por eso te llamaba Uptown Girl. Ahora, la letra de esta maravilla de canción.
Uptown Girl
Uptown girl
She's been living in her uptown world
I bet she never had a back street guy
I bet her mama never told her why
I'm gonna try for an uptown girl
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am
And when she knows what
She wants from her time
And when she wakes up
And makes up her mind
She'll see I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love with an uptown girl
You know I've seen her in her uptown world
She's getting tired of her high class toys
And all her presents from her uptown boys
She's got a choice
Uptown girl
You know I can't afford to buy her pearls
But maybe someday when my ship comes in
She'll understand what kind of guy I've been
And then I'll win
And when she's walking
She's looking so fine
And when she's talking
She'll say that she's mine
She'll say I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love
With and uptown girl
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am
Uptown girl
She's my uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl
She's been living in her uptown world
I bet she never had a back street guy
I bet her mama never told her why
I'm gonna try for an uptown girl
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am
And when she knows what
She wants from her time
And when she wakes up
And makes up her mind
She'll see I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love with an uptown girl
You know I've seen her in her uptown world
She's getting tired of her high class toys
And all her presents from her uptown boys
She's got a choice

You know I can't afford to buy her pearls
But maybe someday when my ship comes in
