Second zero of day one

You can never be sure of anything in your life. Today you may have it, tomorrow it isn’t there anymore.
This is the time when you have to develop a strategy: how to do without.

The most difficult is how to do without somebody you love. They left and you are left there, standing, looking into thin air and not knowing where to go from there.

Well my friend, take a deep breath and tell yourself this is second zero of day one and start from there.

If you already lost something forever and you know you can’t have it again, it will not come back, don’t cry.

Please don’t cry. Square your shoulders raise your head and remind yourself of the great person you are. Take out from your insides all the good qualities you have, look at them and think of all the good you can do with these.

Go on with your life.

Second zero from day one.
Start.
Go!

I was thinking you

I was thinking you and suddenly understood why there are flowing rivers: so our love will flow in their streams, sometimes a calm and easy flow, sometimes raging waters.

If so, who thought first of words like goodbyes and the many names of its pains?
Who took away the horizon and the tomorrow?

Who invented the misunderstandings, the silences, the wrong words said without intention?

The past keeps coming back and with it the pains and the smiles, the feeling of your caressing hands, the sound of your voice saying goodbye.

I will keep on loving you in every written word, in every note of a song, in every cloud and in every remembered kiss.
