Amore mio

You were walking in heels down a dark street, the evening was ruined, as luck would have it, rain, cold, heels that rub your feet and a fight with a person... whom you love with all your heart adds to the atmosphere.

Walking on, not paying attention to passers-by, traffic lights and cars, as if lost in space, you fell in the middle of the road and only the headlights of a speeding car disturbed you. You wanted to get up, but you looked at the lanterns that were rapidly approaching you, as if petrified.

• Darling! Hearing a painfully familiar voice, you turned around and saw him running towards you as fast as he could, scared and just as confused as you. He abruptly pulled you away, hugging you tightly, as if afraid of losing you again.

A minute later, he looked at you, a tear running down his cheek—not just any tear, but the kind that conveys every emotion and feeling. You stared at each other for a long moment, unsure of what to say, like teenagers on a first date, awkward yet sincere.
