'The thing' is love. No, it is another quality of love. A quality that does not regret the moments because it becomes life. I don't know if I will ever have the fortune to do this, this pact, perhaps it would take a man... But if that's the case, love will never be 'matter', 'earth', 'thing'... it will always be a word that flies, a butterfly that rests for a moment on your head and makes you all the more ridiculous the greater its beauty is...
