Nelson

I left you behind. 
I left your love.

You were so funny and showed me life 
as something I had already imagined 
but never thought it could be true: 
all challenges were something great 
and every pain some kind of pleasure. 

You've told me to give a chance 
to love and to hate 
and to laugh of myself more often, 
to listen to bad songs with no prejudice, 
to party, to try the cold 
as much as the hot.

With you life was much more 
about doing than thinking...

Guided by fascination and desire, 
I knew at some point 
I'd lose my senses of direction, 
belonging, 
identity 
and limit.

Yes, I've feared freedom.

I told myself love was to belong 
rather than feeling, and 
persistence was the greatest proof; 
responsability, the biggest gesture

So I left you behind. 
I left you, love.

And now I ask myself: for what?
