Conhece-o desde que se lembra de existir.
No entanto, contam-se as palavras que trocaram.
Era mais um no mundo.
Encontravam-se anualmente em eventos de amigos em comum.
Para além do apressado "olá", pouco mais um ao outro diziam.
Atracção física? Claro que sempre existiu.
Mas não mais que isso, não mais que um pensamento.
Ambos sabiam que seria uma espécie de incesto.
Ela nunca teve interesse.
E tanto quanto sabia, ele também não.
Uma noite.
Muitos copos.
Elogios descabidos reproduzem-se na sua cabeça em tom de "blá blá blá".
7 da manhã e, como sempre, ela ainda dança.
Sem nada dizer, ele dá-lhe a mão.
Táxi.
Um beijo.
"Não. Pára. Não podemos."
Outro beijo.
Ela ri-se, tentando encontrar sentido no que está a acontecer.
O álcool não ajuda ninguém a pensar.
Ela desiste.
Saem do táxi.
Os beijos intensificam-se.
Os corpos pedem mais.
"Ouve, é melhor pararmos".
Ambos sabem que já não há maneira de parar seja o que for.
Pensa: ele sabe o que está a fazer... Merda... O que é que eu estou a fazer???
Deixam-se levar.
Era Inverno.
Mas não para eles.
Não naquele momento.
"Não contes a ninguém."
Despedida lenta.
Nada mais a dizer.
Sabem que não se vão encontrar durante muito tempo (e ainda bem).
9.30 da manhã, cai na cama e adormece.
Acorda 3 horas depois.
Senta-se na cama e percebe que não foi um sonho.
Ri-se ao relembrar a noite.
Nunca vai perceber o que fez com que o impensável acontecesse.
Aconteceu.
Ela não deve nada a ninguém.
Arrependimento: zero.

Hey Baby, Mrs Cold
She can't loosen up. She just can't.
They wanna get to know her, they wanna go to the movies, they wanna kiss her.
But she's just not feeling it.
Beautiful words are formed for her, but she only manages to respond with crooked, cornered smiles.
Maybe it's her childish idea that someone will come along, she will look at him, and just know it. Never thought of her as a believer in destiny and all that kind of crap, but it seems like she's hanging on something like that. She needs to feel a true connection from the starting point, or else, she'll just lose interest.
Yes, they went out for a beer. They laughed. They shared stories and got to know a bit of each other. When she got home, a weird feeling was flowing inside of her and no, it didn't feel good. She didn't even find herself thinking about that person for a whole minute after they met. Better yet, she found herself thinking only about all the flaws she found in him, all the things that make him (actually a nice person) wrong for her and how she couldn't find true interest in the things he said. How no connection at all happened in that 2 hours of small talk. Maybe that was the problem, only small talk happened and she can't stand small, meaningless talk anymore in her life. The problem is, he seemed to find meaning or whatever in those hours... And how do you tell someone you hardly know, that after a couple of hours you already know there's no interest in meeting them further? You don't. If you're her, you wait for the first opportunity to act bitchy, hoping he will lose interest when getting to know her "not so nice and pretty side". The opportunity formed itself pretty quickly actually, she still isn't sure if it worked or not, but she's glad he didn't try to reach her in the last couple of days. And counting...
Is she broken? Is she evil? Did she become too demanding? She knows perfection doesn't exist and even finds perfection boring, but what the fuck is she looking for then? Nothing. She's not hoping for the right person to appear magically on the corner of the street. She doesn't need one now. And the ones she meets... She's just giving them chances to show her if they could be worth it. All of them just make her realize what she doesn't want. Yes, that can be good.
Real connections... Chemistry... It happens so randomly, but when it happens, it may take you to places you've never been before. She's glad to have found it with a couple of people. She's glad it has presented itself to her when she most needed to believe real chemistry can exist between more than with just one person. It's just good to know the possibility of a real and intense connection exists with someone (new). And maybe that also made her raise the wall (?) around her. She feeds on the connection. Connect, click, clack.
We're social beings, we need witnesses to our lives. We may be alone (and perfectly fine), but I think every one needs, every one likes to have some one they can share thoughts, ideas and accomplishments they've made. And some times, you find yourself only wanting to share most of your world to a specific person (which usually means: trouble). That's just how it goes, you're a human being. You connect. You disconnect. You connect. You disconnect.
Most of them will only get to know Mrs Cold.

Divaga
Foram passear.
Encontraram-se acidentalmente de propósito.
Há muito tempo que não sentia os olhos dele percorrer as linhas dela. Tinha receio que esses olhos a agarrassem outra vez. Andaram durante horas. A cidade parecia contente de os ver outra vez preencher as ruas com os seus passos em conjunto.
Assim como um música às vezes parece escrita para um determinado momento, tudo ali parecia fazer sentido. As piadas antigas saíram do caixote, os risos cúmplices formavam uma sinfonia tão familiar, mas também tão diferente. O tempo muda as pessoas... Muda as vontades, muda as ideias, muda o que procuramos. Apesar de se sentirem em casa, ambos sabiam que não podiam estar mais longe da casa que um dia foram.
O que um dia nos magoou mais do que alguma vez poderíamos imaginar, tende a ser posto de lado quando nos encontramos nestes momentos. Posto de lado, não esquecido. Posto de lado, apenas por uma efemeridade de tempo. Principalmente por ela. Ela não esquece. Ela sabe e sempre soube mais do que ele alguma vez possa ter pensado. E, por tudo isso, os breves momentos de fraqueza são imediatamente apagados e engolidos pela racionalidade. Engolidos pela mágoa que não persiste, mas que já fez doer todas as partes do seu corpo.
Ela desapareceu do mundo dele. Sabe que não pode lá estar, não quer, não quer que alguém que não a respeite faça parte do seu mundo. Aprendeu que todos os dias fazemos escolhas sobre quem deixamos entrar e ficar na nossa vida. Muitas das portas que abriu nos últimos tempos foram um erro. Não se arrepende, mas percebeu que agora estava na altura de escolher com pés e cabeça.
To be continued...
