Talking to a Venus citizen

How long have we, man and woman, live together? Why until the day I am standing still, it is so hard for me to understand what a man is saying and why is it so hard for them to listen to what we are saying? Why when we meant good thing it many times end up contrary. This is why ‘How to’ (in this case: talk) to people (in this case: a woman) is important. And to all men in the world, I will reveal you one thing about woman: women love to be asked, either it’s a simple question or a hard-slap one like “How are you feeling?” or “In what stage is the life you are living now?” If only word comes in a tangible, soft and easy to shape like play dough, it would be very nice wouldn’t they?

My eyes were blinking, like a hamster awaken from its longest dream. My fingers run to the window pane and softly touched it. It's warm and clear. To my surprise, summer comes sooner. The little warmth this morning ignited a little idea in my head. It tucked me over and over like shoulder panes that sticking out, ready to be wings.

Is this love? The idea of forgiving what happened and embrace the nemesis in me and in other's that infected my life. Is this love? The idea of keeping the hope alive and keep it protected from the ancient whirlwind that kept hunting it. Is this love?
