¿Do you love him?
No, I respond.
But I read his mirrored letters, while I'm hiding in the dark. Anonymous. Terrified of what I may discover. Knowing that I don't know him anymore.
All of a sudden he was standing right in front of me. I hardly recognized him. We were one stranger and one stranger more were we. I'd extend my arm but soon realize I couln't reach him. I couln't hear his eyes any more.
I wore my face, that face he must remember. That face he used to love, or at least he said he did. But my smile was broken and anybody who took a closer look could see what was lying behind. A tear in my throat willing to drop. My veins full of coal just waiting for him to ignite. No mind working, not a thought, not a heart beat whatsoever.
And then again that old feeling that used to overwhelm me.
¿Do you love him?
No, I respond.
But I'm not sure if that's an answer.


Estoy cansado.
