IF I ASK
If I ask, you will explain me something about
the weather, something about the food you ate last night, about the new cloth
you have. If I ask, you will wait a positive reaction, although I may not have
one; although maybe I really don’t want to ask.
But if I do, if I ask, I want painful answers.
I want to see your soul, how it breaks while you remember, how it heals. I want
real feelings. I want you to turn a wave and I want to be the rock that
receives the image, the impact, the feeling. I want to swim through your mind,
I want you to feel safe around my questions, but I want you to respond with
honesty, and honesty is heavy for our souls.
And the most probably is that, in the end of
the day, I will know about you all the things that construct you like a person,
but I will continue being unknown for you, because you don’t like asking, you
like to talk about yourself, and I have confused feelings about it.
I have them because I like to listen to you; I
like to be more near to you through your words, through your thoughts; and I
have them, that mixed feelings, because it’s a lesson to me to listen the way I’m
learning listening to you.
Someday, maybe with me, or maybe not, you will
want to listen without thinking that you are asking, if that makes any sense. Someday, you will realize
that the world is not asking you anything, that we are; the world is not searching for your answers.
The world knows them. And it’s you who have to ask, and be wrong, and feel
frustrated, and want more, and look for love, and find pain, and lose, and
create light from inside your brain.
If I ask, you will talk me about your passions,
about the way you have to transmit desire; to transmit that shaker in your
fingers when something goes right.
I always thought that is easier talk about us
with strangers, that they are good listeners. I don’t know if I’m a good
listener, and I don’t know if I’m a stranger anymore. But I had always being a
person who speaks her truth. And my truth now is the lesson of listen, to keep
my memories to myself and open up with people that really want to know me.
But, in the same time, I don’t fucking know
nothing about nothing. And it’s wonderful anyway, because I have all my life to
discovery it. I have all my life to learn to listen, and I have all my life to
speak lauder my truth, which is shared for countless souls. I have all my life
until I don’t have it, but, that’s another story.
Because, this life that I chose every day, is
about going to bed knowing something new every day. So… I listen to you. Would
we go for a coffee now?
p.s.: the grammar will be better
