I count my steps recounting this
cold November day. I’m hearing silence stronger than ever. I hear each and every rustle of leafs still
hanging in the trees above me. And
begging God to stop my wanting, suffocating, dreaming, crying …over you. Last
night I dreamed of you walking with my hand in yours, your glances... I still
remember feeling suffocation, fear, palpitation of my heart and your silent strength.
Still, I loved each feeling you had evoked in me.
And now, now all it took to start
crying over us is one single flower and feel ...the infinity tears. And feel infinity scarf around my
neck, warming my cold cheeks, sipping my tears like a tea, warming my thin lips.
Infinity scarf that once used to make me panic, while trying to catch breath and while you
silently calmed me down with ‘shhhh’ and ‘it’s okay’ and ‘I got you’ and looking at
me like a good doctor, like a priest, like the devil while your deft fingers
untangled my hair from it and enabling my breathing, inhaling me, kissing my neck.
My hero, my knight, my
friend…it took infinity to get a single flower.
