17 How It Is to Lose Love
I stand in front of the open window and the wind outside pulls the heat from the room. I close my eyes, stand like this for a while, cold air against my face, raindrops against my cheek — is that how it is to lose love?
Then there’s finally a new message. She says she thinks of me. She says she likes to lie next to me. She writes that she wants to be close.
I answer that I want it too, and wait for more.
But she becomes silent. She does not write anymore, she does not speak anymore, she becomes silent and invisible. Losing love is a bit like losing yourself.
