I promise to lose

The author of the bestseller "I Promise to Fail" is the latest foray into a poetic universe full of sensations. In an intimate and disconcerting journey, Pedro Chagas Freitas explores, in "I Promise to Lose," the depths of emotion: from longing to desire, from rebellion to submission, from pain to love, nothing will be left untouched. Allow yourself to feel. “I promise to lose. I promise to sometimes weaken, sometimes fall, sometimes be unable to win. I won't always be able to overcome, I won't always be able to overcome. I won't always be able to go as far as you ask me to, to give you exactly what you deserved from me. What I desperately want to give you. I won't always be able to smile, either. I promise to lose. I still promise to stay alive after each defeat, to resist the unbearable weight of each impossibility. There will be times when I will unintentionally hurt you, times when I will unintentionally touch the wrong side of the wound. But what will never happen is to give up just because I lost, to stop just because it's easier, to give in just because it hurts to build. I promise to lose. Because only those who love run the risk of losing; others only run the risk of remaining lost. I promise to lose. Because only those who have never loved have never lost.”
