Questo è casuale?
Quando ho scelto di scorrere così,
È stata una scelta casuale?
Quando le carte sono cadute così,
È stato un evento casuale?
Quando abbiamo dormito insieme così,
È stato qualcosa casuale?
Quando ho fatto la doccia lì,
E ho portato uno spazzolino,
Non è stato casuale…
È questo un accidente casuale?
No, non ci penso.
Non so cosa, però sta abbastanza così.
Abbiamo paura, ma potremo diventare forte.
Si, ci credo.
You could say I have it all.
Life is good, no actually it's pretty great right now.
I could be satisfied.
But I'm not sure I am.
There is an emotional piece missing.
Finding its fit is easier said than done.
I look inward into my dreams.
They have not been kind recently,
But I know it's just the nerves.
Recently I've been cautious.
You could say I've been metagaming
The game of life.
But it's time to let the heart
Have its way again.
Strike back out.
I looking for my niches.
I like having a spread of people,
Because I like having range.
I am the cautious one,
Because I use caution to brace.
I find adventure through weighing options.
The outside world presents an adventure.
Again Aquarius takes the spotlight.
I can't reach the Moon but I'll land on a Star.
Dueling emotions are swirling.
They're gentle, nervous, a pulling tide.
I want to follow this stream to its source.
It's time to set the logic aside.
The jaded caution needs to fade,
So the child's curiosity can emerge.
Due anime. Una notte.
Posso muovermi più vicino a te?
Vuoi giocare con me?
Vorresti andare lì per me?
Chissà se sarà facile.
Chissà per quanto tempo farà.
Chissà quando si brucerà.
O forse non?
E se il momento dura?
E se moriamo un po’ interno ancora una volta…
Ma sai, in modo buono.
Ti aiuterò riparati
Se
Mi aiuti spezzarmi.
Sarà la via in cui cresceremo
L’un* accanto all’altr*.
Let me be clear:
I do not see it as something
On the table.
It is off the table,
As far as I understand it.
Tell me if I'm wrong.
However,
I've seen it.
I know it exists.
Even if only fleeting,
The rare surprise circumstance.
Tell me if I'm wrong.
I cannot discount:
It might be something gifted
Under the table.
Tell me I'm wrong.
Non c'è abbastanza tempo
Non c'è abbastanza parole a dire che voglio io.
Non c'è mai abbastanza.
Magari che tu abbia abbastanza pazienza.
Magari che io abbia abbastanza coraggio.
Magari che il nostro racconto avrà molti capitoli più.
Ricordo quando hai detto che
Hai voluto promettermi tutti.
Tranquilla. Non voglio tutti.
Voglio solo te,
perché sei abbastanza.
A spark does not always need to catch.
A kindling does not always need to alight.
The sustained purr of coals can be enough.
.
To get coals you must burn a spark.
It was a fast spark,
But a slow burn.
..
The flames were exciting,
With a nervous flicker.
It had not decided between a roaring fire,
Or a whispering ember.
...
The oxygen ran low,
But at an ember the level balanced.
Even without proper conditions,
The fire within stayed present.
Hot coals:
Touch do not disturb.
Walk do not run..
Appreciate do not cover...
You'll love it, they said.
It's so much easier, they said.
Your legs will be grateful for the flatlands,
They said.
It's flat, he admitted,
But it's hot, he warned.
It's flat, he admitted,
But there's no shade, he warned.
It's flat, he admitted,
But the wind is a wall, he warned.
He was right.
Sometimes your ego wants to keep pushing,
But your id wants to lay down.
The world you thought you lived in
Has been shaken down.
It is a humbling experience, terrifying even.
Your want so desperately to return
To the fruitful times.
You long for the way things were.
At your core you remember your responsibility,
But your energy runs low.
How can you keep your composure
When it's all you can do to stand tall?
The fire in your eyes was snuffed out.
Rekindling a spark is harder than it seems.
The light seems too far to reach.
So turn not to burning passion,
But rather overflow your cup with love.
Emotions are better suited outside the bottle.
You have experienced loss.
Yes, there is no denying that.
But,
You have not lost everything.
The road ahead is hard, but
Difficult does not equal impossible.
You can sow the seeds from which
To grow your fruitful reward.
The world may even seem against you.
Fear not, for your defenses are not gone.
Call on them to be your steady hold.
In fact, call all your supports.
Use all your resources,
Lest you find yourself in a corner.
It is okay to be timid, to be shy.
Wits can go beyond boldness.
You know the way forward.
Stand up,
And take the first step.
Emotions can sneak up on us.
In the perfect storm
The torrents unleash.
It can seem like life is non-stop.
Pausing is okay too.
Inertia only takes you so far in one go.
Mind the physical needs too.
The body requires fuel,
So provide.
It's not all in the head.
The head can be irrational,
But that does not mean consequences
Are not real.
There is always another option,
Even when it appears not so.
Choose wisely,
Lest your emotional load stack.
If there is no right answer,
Perhaps there is no wrong answer either.
One certainty: to refuse choice is to quit before trying.
We collected our cups,
And we filled them fast.
When everything was simple,
We had it all.
The easy times are past
And life's complexity rains down.
There is a choice to make,
A crossroad.
Searching…
For happiness,
For fulfilment,
For balance.
Searching for what works in our reality.
The time to reflect is at hand.
Do you have your thoughts together?
I can only hope I do.
Whether we are ready or not,
Time is moving forward.
We can hold the reins, if we choose,
Lest we exist as the beasts bound in them.
Choice can be paralyzing.
I'll try to choose respect
Without unreasonable sacrifice.
This could work. I believe that,
But a relationship takes two.
I'm in it for the long game,
And I hope you are too.
Because there's so much left to explore,
And I want to be alongside you.
Sometimes it feels like
There's a lot of pressure
Within.
Sometimes it's a slow burn
Where every sensation becomes
Exaggerated.
At times the pressure feels like
Almost too much to bear without
Release.
At times it can disperse at
A moment's notice without
Any signs of return.
But it will demand to
Be seen, to
Be felt.
And it will target only
The most sensitive spots.
Sometimes it's takes
Outside help,
A little cinema…
If you will.
And once it's done,
The world comes back to
Life.
