A Little Bit
I screened “Fading Gigolo”
A tight little film
From writer/director John Turturro
Woody Allen stars with Turturro
About two guys
A bunch of ladies
And love, longing and loneliness
There’s a line in the film
That struck me
“I’m happy you’re a little bit in my life”
It says a lot
And means much more
I had to write it down
Just so I wouldn’t forget-
I had to look it up again now
Just to get it right
It’s an emotion across the spectrum
Happy and sad
Fulfilling for a moment
But potentially empty for a lifetime
It’s the acknowledgement
That you always don’t get it all
And it’s okay to appreciate the moments
Even if they are fleeting
In the end
I guess it’s a sad notion
But one that struck me just the same
Because I feel it often
And maybe one day
A little will grow into a lot
But until then
I’ll keep taking the happy moments
