Tribute to Eni
When you first came into our house, I was dead scared. I was like: "oh my god, what have i done flo will kill me." I thought that you were the last thing on Earth that would fit with us. God, an alien would've fit better (you know, they copy personalities and they behave like you. Then they abduct you - isn't that right, dude?). And in the first two days i found out how incredibly different you were from us, yet how marvelously completing. You are just like that stuff you don't know you need until you actually have it, and then you cannot live without it. And when you are bereft of it, your life just ends. Poof! Emptinesssss. Just like that. You know, like internet. Or chocolate. Or best friends.
I said a nasty thing to you a few days ago. That night, at three o'clock in the morning, I was sky-rocketing on one of those swings outside. Then I took a walk in that stupid, deep parking lot, thinking "How can she give me that shit? After all the things i endured agelessly without saying anything. All those slippers she took away from me... and now, look at her. God, i'm so sorry i said that."
I will never learn this from you. You say it to Flo more than you say it to me: "don't say sorry to me, don't apologize so much". This, i will never learn. I did learn a few things, though.
I was too careful with people, even with some that didn't deserve it. Your way taught me to relax. You told me that there are other beigns on this planet that have the same issues that i have. And this is not so important, at least not as much as the fact that you shared in, into those issues. I'm not saying I've fixed them. It's just that i feel so differently about them now. And it helped.
Remember that time when you hugged me? Us? No, of course not. They were too many.
You taught us goodness in all its ways. You don't really see this on every street. In fact, every street in this city shows us the dark side of life, and you are just not there, not there at all. You're on the good side. On the fun side of the island. On the FUN side... And guess what, we're not counting your stripes.
Yes, I know i'm not too good at movies, but i am good at some things, and you are very good at silently pointing them out.
I sit here, thinking what to write, because i really don't want any cheese in this; i don't know how to say that you're beautiful.
No, really. Stop your "aaaw"-ing. Wipe that smirk. Wiiipe it! Wiipe! God, you never listen, do ya, brat? It's true. You have a few masks you like to show(off :P), and you're in the process of creating a brand new account-exec one. The mighty account that wants to be a copy. You don't believe this now, but you will be a copy. You will? OK? If not...you know, sentimental blackmail, cheesy-type: "you'll do this for me, if not for anything." Or Flo-type: (do NOT mention this)"pliiiiz".
Oh yes, the masks...everybody has'em. When you take them off, only one mask remains, and that is one of beauty. Don't ask me how i know, it just feels, you know: your floating movements, the dance in your eyes, the mistery haze of well-being around you...it all happens when you're a bit tired, a bit sad and a tad bit depressive. When you profoundly think in nice ways. Don't lose that. I know it's not a pleasant thing to read. You'd lose that when there will be no more people to see it. And maybe there will be someone really special that will want to see this, and to that person and for that person you should show it. So let people see it and don't lose us. It's pretty straight n' simple, right?:P
There are a lot more to say, i think. That's why i'm saying goodbye. So that i can leave them for some other time.
Love and admiration,
Buh-bye.
PS. Am i good? Yeah, i'm good. I know i'm good. I'm good. Shut up, dude!
