Here, My Dear

Monday, August 25, 2003

Let’s say that you’re very tired, but can’t manage to fall asleep.

All sorts of thoughts are twisting round your head, cold, uneasy thoughts, thoughts that make you stare at the glowing shadows on your ceiling, looking for a quiet spot.

Let’s say that you can’t sleep. Let’s say that you know that I am now typing words out of my head, typing my thoughts out, typing fast. Let’s say that you can practically hear my keyboard’s noise. Let’s say that its faint noise is keeping you from sleeping.

Let’s say that your thought and my thought, two little thoughts crash into each other in mid air, because they both kept their eyes shut real tight, assuming that the coast is clear for a free fall.

Let’s say that they are now lying on the road, unharmed really, for it was only a small bump. But they’re shocked. Because statistically it’s nearly impossible, and let’s say that they didn’t just meet on the way, let’s say that they crashed with all the power we gave them into each other, and now they can’t get up, they can’t move. Let’s say that they blended, that they became one.
Let’s say that these two thoughts of ours are now lying on the side of the road, breathing heavily, staring at the dark sky, holding hands in silence.

Let’s say that the shiver that I had down my back tonight, let’s say that it happened to you also.

Statistically it’s nearly impossible. But let’s say that one day we’ll meet, and crash into each other with all power, and join.
