you, james :

                 

i finally met you. i finally looked at you in the eyes. i finally recognize how tall you are. i finally could hear you sing at my ears. you do not know - i wasn't able to tell you everything - but you have been on my path all these years, teaching me how to be more pure and more real.  when i have got next to you, i just forgot all the speech i have prepared at home, you have just blown me away! we have a cup of gin together, we have talked, you hug me (!) and when i asked how do you feel when you have Portugal just falling in love with you, you came out with the simple answer  "i think people get the honesty on the songs" …  simple as this, true as that.
  thank you, james.  

i do hope you can meet again in the future. i really do. now i am safe inside.
