"Tactic and strategy" by Mario Benedetti

My tactic is
to look at you
to learn as you are
to love you as you are
My tactic is
to talk to you
and listen to you
building with words
an indestructible bridge
My tactic is
to stay in your memory
I do not know how
nor do I know
under what pretext
but to stay in you
My tactic is
to be frank
and to know you are honest
we won't sell each other
simulations
so, between the two
there will be no curtain
nor chasms.
However
my strategy is
deeper and more
simple
my strategy is
that one day
I do not know how
nor under
what pretext
you will finally
need me.
