My old dark friend





When kids we used to be scared of the dark, thinking we could find our worst fear and will be eaten  in our sleep… now as a grown up I think of the darkness more as an old friend that was always waiting my come back.

For so long I have been dealing with monsters, ghosts, scary thoughts, people leaving, friends dying.. I have been heartbroken endless times and yet all that brought me back to that little corner next to my bed with a clear view of the sky thanks of a convenient window above me.
When I used to be in complete silence, learning to deal with the unknown and a mental blindness, the fact you could get a glimpse of light seems like a hallucination… but there I was, walking towards that oasis, not caring if it was real or not, it was just damn beautiful to let it pass.

I draw into that deep, deep ocean, swimming and for the first time I found my north. You should have seen it, so beautiful, so peaceful, so fulfilling…so perfect. Every word coming out sounded like the most hypnotic melody that will attract me to him, got lost into those eyes, got drunk with that pure soul. I was finally leaving that old dark friend without knowing it was giving me just a break.

As someone that finds writing so cathartic, this …I cannot describe it and I even hate myself for not being able to express with words what it is just the most beautiful essence of someone…their soul, that part that was never touched by anyone so far.
You could not see what I did, just an ocean of confusing emotions fighting at the same time, a hurting heart, a chest with so many scars… yet I wanted to mend all of it and I just attempted to give (ironically) the most messed up part of me I had at the moment but yet the most valuable…my heart.

Endless nights, songs made with laughs, unspoken words replaced with smiles, tender looks that surpassed distance and time…. oh time! another relative concept. Our brains had no words in this because it was beyond their logic. How do you expect me to summarize in one word or phrase so many emotions and sensations playing together like butterflies in an open field?

Again that dark corner was just giving me a break, the high, that sublime state of mind was burst like a fragile bubble, and here I am back to the same place I started. Oh darkness my old fella,  you always knew I was coming back to you…but one day, one day you will have to st me free and feed yourself of someone else’s life. Will I go back to that oasis? Will my star shine again in that infinite sky? Will I surrender if I ever hear another saxophone solo? Will I ever slow dance with you?
