ANYWAY, IT WAS ENDLESS WHILE IT EXISTED... THANKS!

SONNET OF FIDELITY

(Vinícius de Moraes) São Paulo , 1946

Everything, to my love I will be attentive

Before, and with such zeal, and always, and so much

That even in the face of the greatest charm

May my thoughts be more enchanted by him.

I want to live it in every vain moment

And in praise I will spread my song

And laugh my laughter and shed my tears

To your grief or your contentment.

And so, when you come to me later

Who knows, maybe death, anguish of those who live

Who knows, maybe loneliness, the end of those who love

I can tell myself of the love (I had):

That it is not immortal, since it is a flame

But let it be infinite while it lasts.

Anyway, finally, I am almost coming to believe that the Earth, this world, is a "school," a "place of learning," where every circumstance, every day that passes, every different emotion that arises, every passion that abruptly goes away, still brings an enormous, gigantic understanding.

Believe me!

You have no idea what learning I have acquired, after almost 04 months of a kind of new necessary "stress" (I mean the return to all activities, including new study, return to the music scene, return to writing, interact with other people, attend some religion, etc.,), you have no idea, how much all this dynamic, "opened my mind". Okay and what would be "a closed mind?!" It would be, practically, when the man or woman allows themselves to be limited, sticks to a single way of thinking and facing the world and does not let new ideas flow, helping to see that life is indeed something very diverse.

More than a single job, a single vision in relation to passion, something more than suffering and pain for childish things... and so on!

In the period in which I was involved in a great, and in my view, passionate relationship, my vision was limited to systematically demanding from someone else, the same thing that I would never want to be charged of me... "I paid a high price!"

Today, however, I liked it immensely that it was like that! "Because I understood, that during the time it lasted my passion was infinite, but it would not last forever!"

Would do everything differently?!

Of course not, because in that case, I would not acquire any learning, when the "magic of the thing" existed precisely when this growth and understanding that no one has the right to restrict the steps of others and not even want to have for themselves, someone's individual life!

So, no relationship is going to work out like that and it won't even last...

There's no music that comes in handy! Poetry or declaration of love!

If, unfortunately, one side is oppressive...

In fact, those who subject themselves to living this type of relationship have practically lost the reason to live and exist and we know with ourselves that there are people who will live like this for many years, because they cannot understand the complexity of the relationship, the mysterious and dynamic paths that can maintain or destroy a passion!

For a short period, but it was intense while it lasted, it was very pleasurable, delicious even... But everything that is good, if it does not have its limits... Spoils.

That's "when it doesn't give you a tremendous headache, belly ache and so on.

For example: ice cream is very good, but eating a kilo of ice cream in one sitting, can be bad... Sun, it's pleasurable, it helps something in the organic metabolism, including the production of vitamins, etc., but I can tell that if you stay in the sun all day, at least, you will have a headache for a week, burns, etc.,

Everything has to be dosed, including the impulses of passion...

Can reason intervene in this case and impose a certain limitation? No! That is why experience, trauma, separation, etc., are necessary, and beings, understanding that possession and attachment can even compromise a beautiful friendship and the satisfaction of having it, will moderate their impulses over the years... decades, etc., in short, the learning for each one goes from the need they feel to change their concepts, but individually and, of course, gradually!
