Today was this girl's birthday (Yes! This month is packed with birthdays!). I don't even know how exactly we met, or why we met. I just know it was fate that decided it. It was fate that, one day, when I was walking back home from my english course in Rio de Janeiro, made a little voice inside my head ask: "Why don't you go live in São Paulo next year?". I decided to follow it, not really knowing what would happen.

When I got to this city, I was scared. My life was completely changed. I had no friends (except for two or three girls), I was feeling alone. I was going to live with my father, whom I had not lived with since I was seven. Then, a very special girl from Rio, introduced me to her very special friends: The Animagos.

But on the day I met most of them, most of the people I would love more in the whole world; I didn't meet her. She was grounded, I think, and she couldn't come. Di had talked to me about her daughter, and I was dying to see her. On the same day I met the Animagos, I spoke with her on the MSN. Some days later, I lost my binder. I believe that's when it all started.

I got desperate on 08/03 (03/08, to the americans). I had lost all my school notes. The previous night, she had given me her phone number, and said: "Whenever you don't go to school, call me! I just have classes in the afternoon." So I left. I looked for my binder. Nothing. I called her, almost crying. She told me to come over.

And that's how I met Killer for the first time. And we became great friends. Until Brazil's Valentine's Day (12/06), the day everything changed. On this day, we found out we could be more than just friends... We could be lovers. And on 24/07 I finally saw what had never crossed my mind before: I was in love. We shouldn't be just lovers... We should be girlfriends.

A lot of problems came. Her parents forbade us to see each other. Prejudice was trying really hard to stop our relationship from happening. But that, tough a strong enemy, will never be enough to put us apart. Msr. Society, you will have to try a lot harder. Because my girlfriend is strong, brave, and happy. And I'm always going to be there to pick her up if she falls.

It was then I found out that was the girl I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Ok, I'm only 15... What do know about life, right? You can laugh. You can tell me it's never going to work. I don't care. I believe it. I really, really do. Like I never did before in my whole life.

This is the first birthday I have spent with her. And know there will be a lot more. Today, I spoiled her like I had never done. I gave her a lot of presents, and took her out to eat Japanese food! She kept telling me that I was spending a lot of money. Killer... I don't care about the money... I have you. And I want to see you happy, surprised, touched, satisfied, and feel all the other good sensations of the world.

HAPPY SIXTEENTH! \o/ \o/ \o/

I love you... And everyday you make me more proud to be your friend... And girl.

"Avião sem asa
Fogueira sem brasa
Sou eu assim sem você
Futebol sem bola
Piu-piu sem Frajola
Sou eu assim sem você

Porque que é que tem que ser assim?
Se o meu desejo não tem fim
Eu te quero todo instante
Nem mil auto-falantes
Vão poder falar por mim

Amor sem beijinho
Buchecha sem Claudinho
Sou eu assim sem você
Circo sem palhaço
Namoro sem amasso
Sou eu assim sem você

Tô louca pra te ver chegar
Tô louca pra te ter nas mãos
Deitar no teu abraço
Retomar o pedaço
Que falta no meu coração

Eu não existo longe de você
E a solidão é o meu pior castigo
Eu conto as horas pra poder te ver
Mas o relógio tá de mal comigo
Por quê? Por quê?

Neném sem chupeta
Romeu sem Julieta
Sou eu assim sem você
Carro sem estrada
Queijo sem goiabada
Sou eu assim sem você

Porque que é que tem que ser assim?
Se o meu desejo não tem fim
Eu te quero a todo instante
Nem mil auto-falantes
Vão poder falar por mim

Eu não existo longe de você
E a solidão é o meu pior castigo
Eu conto as horas pra poder te ver
Mas o relógio tá de mal comigo" - Adriana Calcanhoto, "Sou eu assim sem você".

This is a Brazilian song. It basically says: "I don't exist without you", in very beautiful verses. I won't translate it, for it won't look the same as the original... It will sound really weird. Anyway... This song me reminds me a lot of you... After all... There is no Lu without Kill.

"You are. And nothing else compares." - "Clocks", by Coldplay.
