A lot of changes have taken place recently…

I began to try to touch snowflakes, experience the joy of mankind, and vaguely imagine love. Your language, for me, began to have a heavy temperature. I became obsessed with all the words you say to me, and the lovely pauses between each sentence.

A busy day, too many stories. If I want to experience it slowly, will you give me time to stabilise my pace?

Please. Please wait for my answer, even if it requires the movement of the hour hand and the ticking of the second hand, drifting through the long years of life. I will remain as before. Like that, loving, waiting not far away.
