143

I have waited for the day

When I say his name out loud in a conversation

and the letters sound like a foreign language.

Where I do not know the meaning behind

the tone of his voice,

the affection that lay in the way he said my nickname.

When the vowels that belong to him,
Finally let go to travel back into the universe,

becoming one of many.

Untangled and untied from me.

Interrupting my train of thought,

She said: ‘’Tell me that story again?’’

Of how they met on that December night.

When I finally spoke of spirits and heroes

Very few people knew,

because he found treasures

when he always let all around him shine,

as he chose to steadily reflect,

Like I never saw before,

Until that day, my love.

I love you 143, you took me by surprise.
