Love Pride
"When will she come home?"
"I don't know... It's the third time that you ask me that and I answer you: I don't know!"
"Because it's strange..."
"It's not strange! I don't know it... She's working... I don't know... And it's not strange, it's just our way..."
Nat, Diego e la Hanny mi guardano. Siamo al bar della stazione di Padova, di ritorno dal gay pride di Genova, io e la Hanny costrette a parlare in inglese anche se non siamo capaci, per permettere a Nat di seguire i discorsi che facciamo. Per questo, le mie parole di quel giorno le ricordo così: un flusso continuo di pensieri sgrammaticati in una lingua che non è la mia...
"It's not strange, I'm tired of people who say we are strange! She likes to feel free and I want to make her happy, so where's the problem?! I don't need to know where is she or what she's doing every minute of her life! I like to talk with her about it when we meet... I don't need to control her, and I know she's so scared about controlling people... She doesn't like to be controlled, and I'm okay about it... We are so different but we love each other and we're trying to respect each other... I never thought my way was righter than her way just becouse most of people and couples do things in my way, and I'm so tired of people who think my story it's wrong or "strange" because of it... She gave to me all I asked her for more than a year, she changed herself because I needed it, so I want to make the same for her now... And I trust her... I really trust her... even if she's not faithfull... I don't care about it... she earned the right to be herself, she earned the right to have sex with other people if she wants, she asked me if she could do it, and I said "yes"... becouse I don't care about it anymore... I know she's deeply in love with me, and I'm not afraid of others anymore... she managed to feel me sure about our relationship... I feel it so strong... I feel now that anybody can change what she feels for me... and what I feel for her... I feel beloved, I feel fine with her... becouse she's not faithfull but she's loyal... There isn't anybody in my life who is as loyal as her with me... and this is so important for me... I knew faithfull people who hurt me more than she could never do... I'm a faithfull person, and I trust me less than I trust her... I love her just the way she is and I don't wanna close her in a cage just to feel myself sure... she wouldn't be happy, she wouldn't be herself... I don't wanna love an idea, I wanna love her! So stop saying it's strange, becouse it's not strange, it's just love!!"
