Amare è la parte di me che io non riesco a dare

 How many times have you died? 

I've tried to count them

Y'know? 

The times i've cried myself to sleep,

Those where i felt my heart shattered and my breathing caught up to me

I died so many times 

Sometimes i asked myself

'How the hell am i still alive?' 

And one day the pain stops

You start your normal day

Smiling, waving, being you again

And you realized you've only just started living.
