A bit of luck and fate

FLEETING LUCK

Were you, perhaps, just a flash of light in the labyrinth?

A brief ray of sunshine in the eternal winter?

A brisk comet in the numbing darkness,

a short relief in the frightening shadows,

an ephemeral smile on my misfortune.

Or were you a mockery of the universe?

A reminder of solitude?

A stab in my chest,

a bitter joke,

a burning echo behind me.

But maybe, just maybe, you were an awakening of hope.

A welcome to dream.

A much needed gift.

A fragment of an illusion,

seed of harmony,

tangent complicity.

A sign of truth

and a mirror of life.

All that you were and more;

no, rather,

all that we were:

pure fleeting luck.

TO MY BEST FRIEND

I wish you a precious life. A life where you can finally see and accept your perfect light. A life full of laughter until your belly hurts. A life surrounded with wonderful people who match your soul. A life with tears because they mean you care. A life with the great love you deserve.

I feel grateful for you every day. You came to hold my hand and let me know everything is okay. You listen to me like no one else and help me understand parts of myself I didn’t even know were there. You never rushed me or judged me. You are patient and caring. You see me and hold me. You love me, with everything I do and everything I am. You remind me I am strong and fun. And worthy of love. You make me better. You make life better.

And, I promise you: I am here. For the most amazing sunsets and the moments you feel your life collapsing. I am here. Listening, caring and staying. Admiring your beautiful being inside and out. Proud of you, seeing you shine. I am and will be here, loving you. I will be here to tell you that “yes, you look pretty”; “No, you are not crazy for feeling that way”; “Yes, you deserve better”.I will remind you of your worth every time you need it until, hopefully, some day, you don’t. Because you will know it yourself.

But, still then, I will be here. It is our fate.
