“Ciò che ero solito amare, non amo più; mento: lo amo, ma meno; ecco, ho mentito di nuovo: lo amo, ma con più vergogna, con più tristezza; finalmente ho detto la verità. È proprio così: amo, ma ciò che amerei non amare, ciò che vorrei odiare; amo tuttavia, ma contro voglia, nella costrizione, nel pianto, nella sofferenza. In me faccio triste esperienza di quel verso di un famosissimo poeta: “Ti odierò, se posso; se no, t'amerò contro voglia.””

Ci siamo fraintesi ostinatamente, come per proteggerci da qualcosa. Custodimmo il non capirsi per una discrezione e un pudore: ora so che questo conserva gli affetti. Fu una rinuncia e una preclusione ottemperata come una norma, sconosciuta alla volontà come un istinto. Fraintendersi fu giusta condizione, capirsi non poteva servirci. Poteva durare in eterno, non mi sarei mai stancato.

Io ti vorrei bastare.

E nessun altro abbraccio potessi tu cercare

in nessun altro odore addormentare,

io ti vorrei bastare.

Questo è quello che io cerco almeno nei libri quando li apro: il pezzetto che è stato scritto per me. Uno scarto, un brusco scarto di intelligenza e sensibilità che mi spiega qualcosa di me. Cosa che suppongo possedevo già sotto la pelle, ma che non sapevo dire.

Un pomeriggio, mentre era sdraiato a letto, fissando il soffitto pensò di aver trovato la parola giusta per descrivere come si sentiva in quei giorni: vulnerabile. Si sentiva vulnerabile, come se un guscio che lo aveva avvolto da sempre si fosse rotto.

“Non sono coerente. Amo leggere, ma non studio. Mi piace scrivere, ma quando devo mandare un messaggio importante faccio un gran casino. Mi piace dormire, ma resto sveglia notti intere a fare tutt'altro. Dico “sto bene” quando sto male. Dico “si” e penso “no”. Penso “rimani” e dico “vai via”. Dico “ti odio” e invece ti amo.”
