chamomile

zabka, what are you doing?! shes yelling at me from the other room - she just woke up at like half past three - even thou we promised ourselves that we will start studying sharp from nine. 

sitting on my bed and drinking tea, i scream back.

what? i cant hear you, i have cotton balls in my ears.

i smile and enjoy the moment. its late afternoon; i have not walked out from the flat since last night; i know its sunny only because i checked out the sky from our indoor patio. uncountable amount of used paper with mathematical equations, formulas, propositions, lemmas, proofs, and examples surround my body while i take a two minute nap with a highlighter in my hand. 

i have a sip from that chamomile tea and smile again. i think i love him.

simply have to pray

with tears in my eyes, i say half aloud, what if he doesnt?
c'mon, there is no guy who deserves your baby face, she tells me from behind the window, smoking todays last cigarette. 

and someone sings
we simply have to pray

you can taste it

they turned the radiators on on sunday, middle of november. i was helplessly just sitting in the dark room with a big window that gives no light, but you immediately  know when the neighbors are having fun smoking pot - for breakfast, lunch, dinner, before going to sleep and sometimes even between - the window wants me to be relaxed with the rest of them. the central heating started working, and i said: yes!, sent an instant message to my roommate chilling in the next room, and told my parents that finally, even thou its still around twenties outside, finally, we have some hot object in our house. my family cheered, maybe they even opened a bottle of champagne - but since, the radiators did not start again.

morning coffee i make extra hot, warm the milk and make it nice with foam. i walk wrapped in my blue blanket, and then, if nothing else helps, i take a hot shower, standing there - water is up to my ankles - there is nobody to fix the drain. i tried, with a knife and a fork, but unsuccessfully. my red, very red toes shine through bubbles water makes when it touches the surface, my skin gets pinker, and i say 'good we have no man to fix our drain; we, at least, have our ankles in warm water'.

and i remind myself that otherwise, life is good. she utubes tengo la camisa negra again, and i open my iphoto one more time; look at that picture i took, close it up, and try to figure out what they eat, what they say, where they go. my mind, my soul is so cold, fucking spain, i say.

rational preferences

i saw him first. he was smiling, his eyes looking for me. hair a bit longer, that jacket i knew from the pictures, hands in the pockets. just a light kiss not knowing what to expect, but one thing i did not expect for sure: that i would realize what i loved about him so much. something that disappears after some time not being together. it was almost rainy and a bit cold. gray everywhere. almost everywhere.

i caught myself watching his moves, little habits, the way he pronounced some words, and questioned if that is what i can handle. 
i looked for that little something in his eyes. not sure if it was there.

it was sunny in the morning. i made tea and coffee with no milk. omelet, he went to get bread.

now i want to forget rational reasoning and be a girl again. not sure if it is still possible.
