Advice To Myra at Twenty Nine
don't feel guilty.
don't feel answerable to your friends or family or the next door neighbour or the milkman.
don't feel pressured to go back to J's house, because the others are waiting for you, because they don't get along amongst themselves.
its 3 in the morning and this is where you want to be.
in this hotel room.
with C.
stay with him.
you love him.
you have loved him for a thousand years.
stay put and don't pick up the phone, don't call for a taxi.
keep talking with him.
keep laughing.
keep inhaling the air he breathes out.
keep soaking up his face into your memory.
forget your country.
forget where you are.
you know he wont touch you.
because L and T exist.
and you know he wants to touch you.
as much or almost as much as you want to feel every cell of your body and every bit of your skin to be touching every bit of his.
how many times have you seem him in your life?
what are the chances you will seem him again soon?
or ever again.
don't think.
don't analyse.
don't moralise or make excuses.
walk up to him and sit with him on the tiny couch.
let your thigh touch his and don't move away.
and if he moves away move closer again.
you have waited for this one single moment all your life.
what seems like all your life.
no, all your life.
it's just that before you met him you didn't know it was with him that this moment would be the moment you've been waiting for all your life. remember he loves you.
don't be scared or embarrassed.
kiss him.
and let the rest of the world go on and live their own lives.
and make them face you living yours.
next to him, smelling his skin and touching his face.
scared and happy.
at last.
