I don't give up on you

Sometimes I feel like giving up on you,

but then some news from you always brings you back.

Never once we met for real,

but I still recall your deep voice,

not-very clear English,

once you called me,

on one Christmas eve,

years ago.

A long pause of  no news

I still didn't try to forget you,

neither to miss you,

just believing you were there,

hopefully fine,

somewhere.

A friend indeed I have in you,

the best one, among a few.

You still remember every bit of my story,

as I keep in mind your incredible life journey.

Friend, I never see you for true, 

yet deep in my heart I really see you.

in the fact that I believe what you do,

and one day,  I hope to see you too.

Til the day when...

you said you would let go...

every quest you still pursue ...

the coffee cups we dream of having together...

the long real talk we have been missing....

til then, my friend, til then...

let life carry you.

I hope you hang on there,

don't give up on everything,

as I don't give up on you.
