After a quiet amusing night I asked her to go and watch the sun set at the beach today. She agreed....
I picked her up and we drove over there.
Once settled...I took off my coat and rolled it up and as I lay down I rested my head upon it. She did the same. Both wearing our sunglasses, looking up at the sky, still so blue, waiting for the twilight to come. She halfturned her head and said: "It's these moments that I regret the fact I don't have a boyfriend, don't you feel the same way?"
What can one say to that? I still owe her an answer.........
As I managed to get out of there quiet unharmed, I noticed how much she meant what she said....for the first time since I have known her, I saw a glimpse of sadness in her eyes and heard the same in her voice.
I also realised that what I had always known but doubted became true. The fact that all her strength, power and attitude is all a facade most of the time.
As we lay there side by side....our hair in the wind.....light becoming more and more hazy with every breath we took....I couldn't help but noticing we glimpsed at each other when the other one wasn't looking. And even though I try my very best not to attach a very strong meaning to it I cannot escape the feeling that it was at least the most comforting and lovingly gesture she could have offered me.
We took pictures of each other and the sunset and we went on kiting for some time before it got really dark. And as we lay there on my kite spread out on the beach.....and leaving the camera to take our picture she tried to capture herself glansing at me in every single shot. The cold that the twilight wind had fed my body rushed away by this warm feeling she gave me from inside out.
Isn't she great? she completes.....all the incomplete
