My tactic is
to watch you
to learn how you are
to love you as you are

my tactic is
to talk to you
and listen to you
to build with words
an indestructible bridge

my tactic is
to stay in your memory
I don't know how nor 
with what pretext
but to stay in you

my tactic is
to be frank
and to know that you are frank
and that we don't sell each other
simulations
so that between the two of us

there is no curtain
or abyss

my strategy is
instead
deeper and more
simple
my strategy is
that one day
I don't know how nor
with what pretext
you finally need me
