Djed Spence

Two years ago I buried the love of Danny Michael Olise's life
From that day on, I promised that no one would ever take his place again. Not because there weren't good people out there, but because I felt that falling in love again would be changing him. He took a part of me with him the day he died, and the other part learned to survive.
While everyone else moved on, I remained trapped in memories. I turned down dates, ignored those who tried to approach me, and built a wall so high that no one could cross it.
Until Djed Spence appeared
He didn't come with promises or flowers. He came to annoy me, to make me laugh when I didn't want to, and looking at me as if he could still find something beautiful inside someone broken.
I tried to push him away
I tried many times
But there are people who don't come to replace those we lost; they come to teach us that the heart can beat again without forgetting the one who made it beat for the first time.
And that was what scared me the most
Because for the first time in a long time
I was falling in love again
But I'll never forget the letter Michael wrote me the day his soul left mine: "And I've tried to get you out of my mind Because I know I'll never be able to get you out of my heart, Mami, and I bought two tickets to Japan In case you change your mind And want to disappear with me We'll try again You are my song I changed for you and I got on my spaceship I went to Saturn and looked for The biggest ring I could find But I arrived late as always And this story that began in such a small house Became something gigantic full of feeling I still dream of your face And although I'm sure it's too late to tell what I feel I confess that I was left wanting to have a couple of Mikitos who had your face a girl who knows how to take care of herself because she takes after her mom And a boy who's very absent-minded just like his dad and since he was little doing wheelies I'm almost retired but making money living in the west in a house with an awesome view always doing what we want no matter the time because you know that my last breath is with you
