Everything starts almost as a game. A question, with a due answer. The need to tell each other every day more, until the moment when, the wish to get to know each other takes life. Virtually everything seems easy, behind a monitor sentences like "I can't be without you anymore" are typical. Reality is different, to look in one's eyes and to say "where have you been until now, my life was empty without you" and to want to stop time the moment when two lips meet and two hearts beat as one.

Could you tell me what you expect from life? It's too easy to say peacefulness, happiness, joy, money, health, love. If birth is painful, even if with a happy ending death is but pain, how can we expect that all that in between could be different? The only thing we can do is accepting all that is given to us, pretty or ugly may it be and to let is run in the best way possible.

I've learnt to pilot dreams, it wasn't easy, but it was the only alternative to nightmarish nights.
I learnt to live in technicolor, when I chose to live, instead of dying.
I learnt to forgive, after my dignity had been stepped over, form people who don't deserve my hatrid. I learnt to feel joy in the moment when I viewed a miracle, becoming a parent. I learnt to love, the day you came into my life wiping away every suffering from my past.

Life is a window open to the world, it's up to you to decide what to do. Be happy for what you have, don't pass life looking for what is missing, it would be an endless research.

I find myself watching the sky and its infiniteness, saying words that no love could understand, my gaze reaches a star and I understand that my words will never be said in vane.

Sometimes I stop to look at you and on my face sprouts a smile. I'm not mocking you, I only think of how beautiful you are and how lucky I am to have been chosen. You know, that little movement you see on my face, starts from my heart and goes to my lips, for you.

There's who throws life away in a moment and who in that moment builds his fortune. There's who hopes to always get there first and who prays for someone to take his place. There's who is always thirsty or knowledge and who thinks to already know everything. There's who has many friends without looking for them and who even when looking shall never find any. There's who always wakes up with a smile, not having anything and who, having everything, never smiles.

I dreamt so much of you, that in the end I can't understand where the dream ends and reality begins. You can define a dream who occupies your nights and the greater part of your thoughts? I believe you just need to give it a name, and I chose yours.

I've been a son, now I'm father to three splendid creatures. I relive my father's joy when looking in my eyes he understood what a great thing he was able to create, a small being from which to take energy to face the day and life. On my side, I saw a giant ready to defend me from all my fears, he was my source of security and courage. Today I understand better the importance of being a parent and I hope my kids may feel the same feelings I felt, I hope that looking in my eyes they may understand the joy they give me in seeing my life flowing in them.
