Let Me Tell You

let me tell you about the things i like.

beaches and how time is always short when i'm there. i enjoy those moments when the sea meets the sand; a short rendezvouz. one minute they kiss, and move away, only to come back for some more.

beers and how easy it is to leave worries away. it's easy to be funny when people are drunk. without the inhibitions or the pretensions, we are stripped down to our essentials.

cigarettes. it's weird, that you can see, in tangible terms, the passing of time: minute by minute, stick by stick. because it's hard sometimes, to measure, what is invisible. years can seem like days. months only minutes.

guitar self-lessons and how they teach you about life. that everything in this life can be acquired. like a skill, we learn how to survive, how to heal, how to move on.

funny conversations and diversions. i liked/like it that you make it sound stupid, those many months of anguish, of self-denial, of selfless love.

these are, just some, of the things i like. but there are very few.

i think it is when things are scarce, that we truly know what to value.
