Moments, a lifetime

To explain what it is. It is never easy, and sometimes, when you think you have found it, you don't know what it is anymore. It is never simple. There are moments when you think it doesn't exists, moments when you wobble and your certainties sway, balance, always so fragile, fades away and you swim in an empty darkness that ties your stomach and makes your knees shake. Legs tremble and tears are ready to come down. It is never easy. Sometimes it is a long job, and when you finally sit down, with your back broken but your heart full of joy, it doesn't last long. Because soon you have to get up and start all over again, or from some point at least. You drag your feet sometimes, on those tired evenings, some other times instead you are light and keep your head up. But it is not so easy forever. Love is not weightless, it is not sunsets and sunny Sundays and bird songs and warm cups of piping tea. Sometimes your shoes are heavy, your head aches, your eyes are swollen and red, sometimes Sundays are sunny and you still have to lock yourself home, sometimes you would like to fly but there is a deadweight that binds your stomach to the ground. But it is beautiful, also in those moments.
