a prayer.
The sight of him takes her by genuine surprise, for she had not expected to see him. She watches him making his way to his desk; his walk is calm and peaceful. His hair is not as well-kept as usual, suggesting he had just been outside where the wind was blowing with unusual intensity forContinue reading “a prayer.”
{exchange}
As she rounds the corner at the bottom of the stairs, she spots him a few metres ahead, in a discussion with one, or two, or maybe even three persons (for she failed to notice them properly, as if her field of vision had narrowed down to just him). She approaches them quietly, though notContinue reading “{exchange}”
“is it okay if i sit here?”
As she walked into the restaurant, she anxiously scanned the room to find at which table the group was to be seated. Further to the back, she spotted a long table, and no sooner had she seen it that her eyes fell upon him. So he had arrived before her this time. To her relief,Continue reading ““is it okay if i sit here?””
that’s all i came here for.
Hesitatingly (for she had never done this before) she made her way towards his desk. She had noticed him there on her arrival in the building, and she longed to see him, to be physically a little closer to him, and perhaps even share a few words. She felt herself getting shy as she cameContinue reading “that’s all i came here for.”
honest conversation.
She wanted, and was considering how, to express herself. She had bluntly blurted out that there was something she wished to speak to him about, and now that he sat quietly, expectantly, she knew not what to say first. All the words she had rehearsed in her mind for weeks no longer sounded appropriate orContinue reading “honest conversation.”
this place.
How can this place not remind of you and of all those kind gestures you have shown me? Memories come flashing through my mind as I walk along these hallways. It was here that you smiled at me, that you asked me if I was alright, that you told me I had done well, thatContinue reading “this place.”
a proper good-bye.
You are walking away: you have to go. But as we have not said good-bye properly, I start to follow you, hoping to catch up to you. I know you know I am behind you, yet you do not stop. I begin to question if it is worth it after all – chasing you forContinue reading “a proper good-bye.”
conversation at work. {him}
As I stride past the room, our eyes meet, as if she had been expecting me all along. It takes me a moment to realise it really is her, but it is Wednesday after all, and she is always here on Wednesdays. I retrace my steps and make my way to the door. She looksContinue reading “conversation at work. {him}”
the reminder.
“I am in a happy marriage, you know.” I wonder why you say this. It is as if you are reminding me of something I already knew, or even warning me that there is a boundary there I cannot, should not cross. Did you think – did you think for a moment I would everContinue reading “the reminder.”
