“this”
She could hear the sound of birds chirping in the trees. It was a warm day, early in the summer, and the sun was high up in the sky, which was blue, bluer than the shirt he was wearing. “This,” she started, waving in the air a small bundle of folded pieces of paper, “wasContinue reading ““this””
feelings.
What I feel for you is passionate platonic love …
graduation day.
Today is graduation day. I put on a dark green dress, and I’ve let my hair out. I would have put make-up on too, but I ran out of time. The room is crowded with teachers, students and their parents. Everyone is talking, but I don’t mind the noise so much, as everyone seems toContinue reading “graduation day.”
seeing you.
I don’t know exactly how I see you; only that I see you differently to every one else. I do not see the look in your eyes, or the colour of your hair. I do not see the wrinkles on your skin, or the shape of your body. In fact, it is like you haveContinue reading “seeing you.”

There was a particular way I want the evening to unfold – namely, that you and I should sit close to one another – but I cannot simplyContinue reading “the chair.”

The sight of you makes me smile. You are resting on your side, facing me; your head emerging fromContinue reading “early morning.”

I am glad to be here, though I think that is the case only because you are. I would not be this happyContinue reading “O Mio Babbino Caro.”
Make-up (a reason).
She had never been much into make-up and giving much importance to one’s own appearance. For a start, wearing make-up used to make her skin feel trapped and her eyelids heavy. She had never found much pleasure in putting make-up on and she did not even perceive any advantages to it. It cost money, itContinue reading “Make-up (a reason).”
An old new friend.
This afternoon was an experience that exceeded my imagination and my expectations. My heart is full, satisfied, joyful and at peace – just the way one feels after eating a truly nourishing meal. I have trouble believing it happened, trouble believing that you and I actually did meet this day, and spent time conversing andContinue reading “An old new friend.”
