It was his endless questions that first caught me
An instant friendly feeling
Like an old friend who just met again
Or a gaze from a stranger in a crowded party where you feel alone
Rescued you from loneliness
Boredom
Aloofness

Then his warm smile
Telling you more than words that keeps coming from his full lips
A lips he said can hypnotize you once it touches yours
A lips that you dream that someday will meet yours
And bring you to a world of joy

Then his eyes
Those weary eyes
Even though they look unsure
You can feel that once they were full of passion
Has someone has taken that out from them?
Has something happened?

I saw him so full of life
I saw him lonely
I saw him feeling best at what he’s doing
I saw him lost in what he is seeking
“What is it I am living for if those I love live so far away?”

Those who love you will keep you in their heart no matter what
I saw those eyes were full of love being near you
Looking up to their hero
Their dad
Big wide smiles
Smiles that don’t lie
They haven’t live long enough to let life teach them how to perform a fake one
Like the one their dad sometimes wear

Live my friend
Don’t let them see some part of you dying
Don’t let them think that live is only about surviving and fulfilling other’s expectation
Don’t let them think you are suffering for them
Let them learn that life belongs to them
And it is their will that will do
Not society
Nor family

Let them know they can be happy living
Not a zombie doing order from other
