Friends for Eternity (May 17, 2009)

Words of hope
words of wisdom
words of happiness

As I read them
I carry them
I keep them

I dream,
sleeping,
awake

Thank you my friend,
thank you for your teachings,
thank you Mario.

“My tactic is
to look at you
to learn how you are
love you as you are

my tactic is
to talk to you
and listen to you
and construct with words
an indestructible bridge

my tactic is
to stay in your memory
I don't know how nor
with what pretext
but stay within you

my tactic is
to be honest
and know you are too
and that we don't sell each other
illusions
so that between us
there is no curtain
or abyss

my strategy is
instead
deeper and
simpler
my strategy is
that some day
I don't know how, nor
with what pretext
that finally you need me”

Mario Benedetti
