Tactic and Strategy My tactic is Looking at you, Learning how you are, Loving you as you are, My tactic

is Talking to you And listening to you To build with words An indestructible bridge My tactic is Remaining in your memories I don't know how Nor with which pretext But remaining with you. My tactic is Being frank, And knowing that you are frank, And not selling each other Simulations So that between us There is no curtain Nor abyss. My strategy is, However, Deeper and Easier, My strategy is That one of these days I don't know how Nor with which pretext You finally Need me.
