The day before my adulthood
On this evening, a year ago, I was waiting at a small airport in an ex-Soviet Union country. I was alone and I had to give a fight with time. I had to fly all night and change two planes in order to see you. I knew that this would have been the last time and I knew that I had reach you as soon as possible.
The empty highway, the taxi ride to the airport, the people waiting, my inability to understand the language spoken around me, and my agony to make it on time for that last goodbye are some of the things I can remember. It was going to be a long, sleepless night filled with uncertainty and a morning that I had zero expectations about.
Tonight, everything reminds me of that night, even the cold. But is it really the cold or that telephone number on my pnone that I will never call again?
