My shadow on a night in June 2017 ...
I usually don't know where my shadow is. I know it goes with me everywhere. Although I live with my back to her, carefree, because we already live belonging to each other.
One afternoon walking I saw her standing upright in the front of a building. She didn't want to move from there and I couldn't pull her hand. She didn't want to walk anymore. He did not show a single emotion. We saw each other alone in an alley, on an old promenade by the sea, on a frigid night of those in which waves are strong on the beach of Las Canteras.
She looked at me as if I were a simple silhouette painted on the wall, as if she did not know that it has life and that night we discovered that we no longer knew how to play as when we were children and we did not invent fun. Not the butterflies flying between us and so many other things, that only your shadow knows about you.
My body began to cool in the breeze, and the sparks of the salty water soaked my skin. Meanwhile, we kept staring at each other. The challenge was not to languish while silently taking care of ourselves.
Patience is always a great virtue and we use it for long hours and when absolute darkness came, she was absorbed in the black of night and in that instant I was alone again.
Whenever someone you love disappears in your life, you know that they will appear again in another place. It is not surprising to find the same patterns in different people.
New people who have no shadow, as it happens to me. There are so many of us who do not see it at night or during the day. Because lin the shadow of a person is free. His peace comes and goes, mingling with other shadows, being silence.
The shadow is so used to going unnoticed in our lives that if you look at it in the face, it runs away. Although if you look at her slowly, she knows that you are looking for a game. We all want laughter, company ... because life is made to be lived with more people, with more shadows.
I usually don't know where my shadow is. Usually I don't know where I am with or without shade. I know that you go with me everywhere. Although I live with my back to you.
