until I see you again
for Marco Vinicio, my friend

it will be then as
if we never parted
as if never existed
streets, cities, countries and seas
to separate us
we will make the usual visits
we will gather together again
your peculiarities with mine
to be accompanied
to sit at the table
on a Saturday or a Sunday
to drink coffee and in between talks
devour the leftovers of
lunch or breakfast
we will go for a walk
to cover streets both sides
step by step we will fill them
with anecdotes and narratives
by word of mouth
of facets of our childhood or
of that youth that arduously
we were building or
about the maturity we reached
without realizing
we will exchange opinions
comment on books and music
talk about personalities
we have met
we will share confidences and
maybe as well, confessions
it will get late talking about things
we still want to do
we will insist on that trip
we never made together
the trip of life’s adventure
that one we always considered
a gift, with its good days and
those others
to make it more meaningful
I will tell you that I admire you
pointing at your gifts and abilities
you will do the same
we will argue to conclude
it is better to be as we are
nevertheless, as usual
we will be proud of each other
we always looked for each other
we always found each other
even unintentionally, that’s why
we no longer said goodbye
but my dear friend
now you embark on a new journey
your train has left
without our saying farewell
I am left with so many things
we could have talked about and
also shared
the love of friendship remains
ours and the one we granted
by sharing family and friends
in memory will echo
your voice and all we lived
in this so overflowing friendship
we always provided to each other
all as usual, my dear friend
until I see you again!
(as we say goodbye no longer)
