Maria Made My Day

Do you want to go to the library and then take a walk?

Sometimes when I dream, I sense a part of me that’s missing. It’s a strange feeling having your heart remember something your mind can not.

Now, there is only one love letter left and it is this one:

I open a 24-second voice note and then a universe unfolds. I suddenly found myself believing in the cosmos, fate, witchcraft, stars, crystals, angels, and God. All at once. Everything I can’t see and touch, it didn’t matter. I believed it’s there. The universe conspiring on me.

The 16-second one was the worst of them all. A low resolution record of a soft voice singing. I smiled thinking at least it was in tune. It was a fifteen year old song. My favorite song. 

♪ Close your eyes, dry your tears ‘Cause when nothing seems clear You’ll be safe here ♪ 

It was a 16-second promise.

Imagine having tens of voice notes. Imagine having none.

It’s not that when I found you, I found love, no. It’s just that when I met you, I met myself again.
