In the distance, the silhouettes of sleeping boats, such as drunks on the beach rocks, were visible. He didn't remember who he was, he just wanted to escape from his dark side, from everything that reminded him of his past and the decisions he had mistakenly made. It was late, at least I thought so. Its fine and beautiful silhouette was trimmed against the light; she was a rarely beautiful woman, tall and thin, with a good silhouette, as many say; but alone, with that loneliness that goes inside, that which does not fill anyone and is only empty. And there she was looking for a reason to forget everything, despite the small roots that tied her to her past. Destiny wanted to cross one of those strange beings that walks through life, of those who prefer to be wolves to humans; perhaps because they are too human, they move away from the crowd. They just crossed their eyes and recognized that distrust towards their prey. She, sad and hidden behind a false smile, and that strange being, tired of following in her own footsteps, however he did not know why he spoke to her and was encouraged to say: *“Hello! I go alone to my uncertain destination and you ... Where are you going? sad-eyed girl"* She just managed to smile and think about letting go, but she didn't know why I look at him and she said the word *“Why do you tell me sad girl? I am not."* *"Who more than the sad and the lonely wolves like me would walk this way"* replied the strange being. *"What's your story?"* he asked. She only thought about running, but for the first time in a long time she was not afraid, even knowing that she spoke with a very strange beast, perhaps this creature inspired her confidence even though she was a "wolf" and she only trusted herself. Night entered the harbor, the moon was hidden under a thin blanket of darkness, the shadows began to embrace them. He extended his front leg and said *“follow me”* she almost without will extended his hand, placed it on his back and followed him, almost if he protested he began to speak of his broken dreams, of his present past and began to be reflected in the wolf, he just listened and reaffirmed everything she knew of yesteryear, but did not have the courage to recognize, she was a lonely existence just like the wolf. He told her how to renounce the life of men, for love of them, he told her of his sorrows of how he could not do anything in the face of death, despite facing her so many times, this time she had won the game, He felt he had plenty, he didn't fit anywhere, he felt weird, different and people, as always, made him notice. He loved life so much and his life turned his back on him, he no longer had much to keep him tied to sanity, he had preferred to escape at night, for no one would miss him, no one in the pack. The Wolf thought out loud *"You humans are simple, you are utilitarian, use and discard, you are more animals than the Wolves, because we only attack to survive."* The girl did not understand anything, but she was sure. For the first time in years her smile was not fear or falsehood, she was sincere, she was scared to wonder who this being was that made her think differently, and the fog did not let her see beyond 10 meters. The Wolf looked into her eyes tenderly and said *"I will tell you a secret, I am a maze, who enters does not know that I will find, not even I know, I am discovering it day by day, that is what living for creatures like me, try to get out of the maze we build around us; life can be simple, live it! ”* The girl, while listening, looked in a puddle at her reflection, tried to recognize herself, was no longer the same a few hours ago, something had changed. Who was this madman who upset his life, with what right he interfered. She looked at him and said in a weak voice, *"I can't go out, I don't know how to go out. I've always done what others want. I don't even know why I'm talking to you, because I allow you to get close to me. I don't know if to tell you or not, but I like your presence, maybe out of curiosity I'm waiting when you're going to let me down.”* The Wolf looked at her, smiled wryly and said *“It's humans who let their fellow men down, we don't know anything about it, it's easier for you to let me down than I do for you, it's easier for me to lose my freedom that you win yours, but at some minute you have to dare to live and I decided that it is time to leave again, assume my mistakes, rejoice for my successes, mourn my failures and start living again.”* The babbled girl *"I can't, my little roots bind me", the Wolf approached and said in his ear "Our little roots must grow and become big trees and not small bushes, don't transfer your failures to them or hide in they. First think of yourself, if you are well, they will be fine, maybe not now but in the future.”* *"But everyone advises me,"* said the girl. *"Let everyone advise you, but tell me who thinks of you? Just think of them, they are like when you have someone on the verge of death and all you want is to stay, no matter how and everything for not feeling the loss of that being, without thinking about his suffering,”* whispered the wolf. She looked at him and said *"Don't confuse me, don't invade me."* *"I invade you?"* Shout the Wolf *“and who gives me back my peace of mind little girl or maybe you think I'm immune to your pain, every step I take by your side my freedom vanishes, who will protect me when you dominate me and decide to walk away in the fog ?, Where will I go ?, I don't have a place, you are becoming my home, there will come a minute when I will not be able to breathe the air without sucking your name, your hours will occupy mine and what will I do when you are not? "* The Wolf under the head and musito *“I will do the usual thing to lick my wounds and follow my path alone; how far I am from home I am in the middle of nowhere and I meet you, all I wanted was to run away from life and without wanting to give me reasons to live, who invades whom?"* Wolf looked up and gave an incomprehensibly sad howl to the void. She was scared for a moment, she had never seen that sincerity that becomes painful. But he smiled at her and said *“Don't worry, it's nothing, come closer, I can shake you,”* she didn't know why she came near and felt a hard and strong but tender coat, that she didn't hold her back but didn't let her go , he settled down, he didn't want to get out of that position while he walked, it was different from any hug he felt before, for the first time in years he let go and felt his heart beat fast and asked, *“Wolf won't you leave me? Won't you leave me alone In the fog?"* The Wolf looked at her tenderly and said carelessly, *“I will not leave you. But will you follow me when the fog rises? Don't answer me, only time knows the answer, but you can count on me, I've already lost my independence, I'm as yours as you want.”* ![](https://steemitimages.com/0x0/http://g01.a.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1SzDhIpXXXXbYXXXXq6xXFXXXF/2015-corrieron-nueva-pintura-diamante-Diy-3d-para-mujer-Celestial-lobo-luna-mujer-ideal-mosaico-artesan%C3%ADa.jpg) [Source](https://steempeak.com/relato/@pedrobrito2004/lobo-cuento) Walking in the middle of a foggy night, two silhouettes are lost along the pier. Years later, the Wolf remembered that sweet moment *“I have already licked the wounds that my separation left me, she managed to accept what she is and make her life by accepting her reality. I am a strange creature, I love freedom so much that I did not try to make it **‘One of mine’**, I helped him find himself, find himself and live fully with such knowledge. Maybe I'm an idiot, but I don't think I care.”* --- 20% of this Post is intended to support @project.hope - [Project #HOPE Community ](https://steemit.com/created/hive-175254) [![logo _20191218003205.png](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/pedrobrito2004/Svg317Uq-logo20_20191218003205.png)](https://steempeak.com/c/hive-175254/created) [Project HOPE community](https://steempeak.com/c/hive-175254/created) --- [![](https://www.projecthope.pl/files/dynamicContent/sites/w5qujb/images/pl/layout_1/k1v8mpnt/element_150/logo-mini2.png)](https://www.projecthope.pl/) [Project #HOPE Website](https://www.projecthope.pl/) ---
