Creo que si, todavía
Lovely
She was exotic and bitter, inebriating and exciting, when I saw her, I could tell she was defeated, but to me, a broken smile and a blue dress have never been so pretty. One of those girls who talk about leaving before being left, and I couldn’t resist asking:
“What happens when you get tired of running?”
With a sigh, she just replied:
“You end up in a sordid little place like this, with a funny little person just like you, asking little questions, just like that one…but hey, as tragic endings go, this isn’t so bad”.
After a while, she unwrapped a tiny chocolate and kept quiet for a moment, she then stared at me, and told me, what she referred to as “the saddest part”, a little smile first, and she said:
“…you know… truth is, I’ve got it all, always have, but will never, EVER, be enough to share, not enough, to make me WANT to share, and that’s it, that’s my tragedy, I love everything but I can’t be bothered to care if everything would love me back”.
I forgot her name, but kept thinking of her as vodka because that’s what she was drinking, and it doesn’t really matter, I know she never even cared to know what my name was, I might have told her, but she might not have listened. I fell in love with her contradictions, come to think of it, she was a contradiction, a broken soul barely put together and held by safety pins, I will never forget the dizzy hours when she took her glass and looked at me...
“Here’s to you! Little weird person! I’ll give you my heart tonight, but you should know that I’ll take it back tomorrow, not that it’s worth much, the poor weary thing, it just has a certain sentimental value, you know how silly us women can get…”
