So, for now, wave goodbye ♥
Thank you for the days
Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me
I'm thinkin' of the days
I won't forget a single day believe me
Exactly 10 months and 4 days ago, on the 24th of July, I was saying goodbye to one of the players I love most in the entire world, the one I had considered the soul itself of my team since 2006 and to 2009. He wanted a new adventure, he thought Spain was The Place, the right place for him. Ten months and 4 days later, here I am, trying to find words good enough to say goodbye to one of the men I respect and love most in football, the man who gave me my best season as a supporter since I support this team. The best season I saw since I'm alive, and it's been 22 fuckin' years, yet José managed to make this season so special - like he is - I will never forget it. It's Spain again, taking him away from me. A new adventure, Spain's The Place, it probably really is. I hope he does well, I hope he does really well, I hope he wins everything he can win - well, apart for a single little big eared cup I want my team to win again next year, maybe playing against his new team, too, who knows?
I won't forget a single day, José, not a single word, and I promise I'll never start to think you loved us less than you told us, cos your love, I felt it, and I know it was true. It is true. San Siro will always be yours, Special One, you'll always have our hearts with you, wherever you go, and not only for what you made us win, but for what you made us be and for what you made us feel.
Grazie.
2008~2010

You took my life
But then I knew that very soon you'd leave me
But it's alright
Now I'm not frightened of this world believe me
Ps: For a very smart and interesting overview on this true market masterpiece by our management and our always wonderful President, I suggest you to read princess21ssj's last posts, here and here. They're in Italian and I don't know if Google Translate could be of any help, but they're worth a try since they're full of things no journalist ever tell you to make you really understand what went on during a difficult operation like this one. Fede totally speaks my mind, also, and even if I wanted to privilege romanticism and sentimentalism, to express more what my heart is feeling and less what my brain is thinking, well, I think exactly what she wrote, and I am so incredibly thankful to our management, our President and our lawyers for what they've done. Nobody ever thanks them, but I want to do it now, so thank you.
