Assuming

i look out of my window, assuming that you are looking out of yours at the same time. as if our sight is penetrating through these mazes of towers and buildings, and we are looking directly at each other.

but in front of me there are two sunflowers, a song whose name i know not and rain. these remind me of the lives i could have lived, the rainbows i could have taken pictures of, the crisp yellow leaves i could have stepped upon and the times i could have fallen in love with nature.

this singer takes a high note and i stop the song. i want to hear the rain. i want all my sins to be washed away with this shower. but the rain slows down and eventually pauses.

I play the song again. this is a very beautiful song but i will not look at its name. i want this special song to be nameless for me. nor will i put this song again, ever. but in this very moment, it will always be precious.

i hope that at your side of the world, a rainbow has already appeared and you are taking pictures of it. i hope that you have the same light brown eyes that shone with every ray of sun. i hope that you have taken a seat by now, beside the window and you are sipping your coffee. i hope.

i reach out for the window, again and continue to look at you, assuming that you are doing the same.
