I still remember that night. I was coming out of a party, I was drunk but your face appeared like a revelation.

You came out of nowhere and our eyes met. You came to see me, and despite the number of years that has been buried, I still don't see what you saw in me at that time. I reeked of alcohol and talked like crazy.


From your first word, 'hello', I knew you had come for an indefinite time in my life. I was with my friends but my heart whispered words to you, like if you and it already knew each other.


Then the noise around me, the awareness of the danger that a stranger can hide, made me flee.

My friends and are took an Uber, and then the minute the car started running, when your hand went up and your smile came to say goodbye, a hot tear let my soul dance on my cheek.

The further we went, the more your face faded into the darkness.
