This moment will disappear and another one will come. And one day, i will sit down and i will try to count them. Full of surprise i will ask myself "Have I really lived so many moments?" I know that they are nevertheless countless and diurnal. But now that you came, every second is different, so different that when it's gone, vacancy fills the place. It goes away, and the person who's yearning for moments like this stays there, praying to live them once more. Just for a thousandth, L A S T T I M E. Phoebe Melano
About This Quote

An older man of about sixty years of age was on a train. He sat beside a young woman, who was reading a novel. After a short while, he leaned over and said to her, "I've been thinking that I would like to live my life again. If I were to do things differently, I think it would be wonderful." The young woman looked up from her book and replied, "That's easy for you to say, you haven't lived it yet." "Oh yes I have," he said, "I used to be a famous opera singer." "But I don't believe you," she said. "Well, actually I am now.

My last performance was at the Opera House in Milan." "Now that's impossible," she said. "Are you sure?" "Very sure. Everyone agrees that I was the best singer there has ever been." "I never heard of you before today," she said. "No one has ever heard of me before today," he replied. The girl turned away and went back to her book and the man thought for a moment and then he asked: "What if I told you that this is my first and last performance?" She looked up from her book with curiosity and replied: "That's impossible too, but let's go with it anyway." He then told her how unhappy his life had been until now and how he had no idea why he had been given such an important talent only to waste it through his own lack of self-discipline and inability to make any real contribution to society.

And how he had decided that he would change all that if only there was someone there with whom he could share his life."Would you like to come with me?" he asked hopefully. She looked at him with surprise and replied: "But what about your family? Your friends? Your career? The way things are now? And all those people who are expecting so much from you?" Unperturbed by her questions, the man said firmly: "They can all go hang themselves." She stared at him for a few moments but then nodded her head in agreement. He smiled sheepishly as if wondering whether or not she had understood what he had just said but then got up from his seat, saying goodbye as quickly as possible without appearing too eager. The girl put down her book and followed him out onto the platform where they stood together looking at the tracks that
