Una strana sensazione, quella di andare a letto sapendo che al risveglio mi sarei pentito di non averle chiesto di poterla vedere di nuovo, e poi al mattino averlo li' con me, quel pentimento, come un sorriso amaro all'angolo della bocca. Per cosa poi? Un colore di capelli che adoro? Non era neanche naturale. Ma cosa offrono di naturale le persone oramai? Quindi questo non e' significativo. Due begli occhi ed un sorriso dolce, magari solo di facciata? Siamo solo apparenza, apparenza in continuo cambiamento, perche' cio' che non cambia e' anatema nella nostra societa', e la sostanza non cambia. Quindi cio' non importa veramente. Una presenza rilassante, che potrebbe essere la manifestazione di una personalita' noiosa? Ma ci si puo' abituare alla noia, alla routine e alla vuota ripetizione, cosi' scevre di preoccupazioni e pensieri. Non farebbe poi questa gran differenza. E' il non sapere che e' significativo, il non avere la possibilita' di sapere che fa la differenza: e' una persona interessante? le sue attenzioni erano reali o solo di cortesia? Magari e' impegnata e non ci poteva essere niente fra noi, ma non lo sapro'. Magari non avrebbe potuto funzionare, ma non lo sapro'. Magari non era realmente interessata a me, ma non lo sapro'. Che strana sensazione...
A strange feeling is, to go to bed knowing that at the awakening I would have regretted not asking her to meet her again, and then in the morning having that regret with me, as a sad smile at my mouth's corner. But what for? For a hair's colour which I adore? It was not even natural. But what of natural people offer nowadays? So it's not of a significance. For two beautiful eyes and a sweet smile, which maybe were just a facade? We are just appearance, appearance
continually changing, because all of that doesn't change is anathema in our society, and the substance doesn't change. So it doesn't really matter. For a relaxing presence, which could be the manifestation of a boring personality? But we can get used to boredom, routine and empty repetitiveness, so immune to worries and thoughts. It wouldn't make such a big difference. It's not knowing that matters, not having the chance to know which makes the difference: is she an interesting person? her attentions were real or just a courtesy? Maybe she's engaged and couldn't be anything between us, but I will not know. Maybe it couldn't work at all, but I will not know. Maybe she wasn't really interested in me, but I will not know. That strange feeling...
