Oh woman, who masters the language of the eyes and a silence more eloquent than millions of words. Oh woman, who knows how to decipher my codes and resolve some of my complexes, who are you? What do you want from a man fit for nothing but waiting? A man who cannot bring himself to love another woman, a man greatly corrupted by waiting, after whom other women no longer concern him. A man who has come to see all women as identical, possessing the same face and the same features. Nothing in them tempts him to start a new relationship and forget her innocent face. I am a man who remains a hostage to the ancient past, obsessed with loyalty. A man who feeds on longing and the remnants of memories. A man who only excels at hoarding their features in the crevices of memory and hates to sweep away any memory of them he once passed through.
