“It was you…”Her eyes changed the tone. And silence cried out inside the warm and bright night.

 “But…but where were you?!” I could see the pain reaching her blood.

I stood up and tried to get closer. She, however, put space between us.

“No…Tina…” The questions upside down. “Where were you..!!? What happened, Tina?!! What we were?!”

I could feel how much danger I brought to her feelings and the distance filled my eyes with raindrops of sadness.

“I…”

She didn’t stop her torment of thoughts. She didn’t give me time to think.

“What happened, T?!” My consonant, her enchantment, seamed out of place that way. It doesn’t fit in a sentence filled with injures.

“And who are you?”

“I was…I am your lover, Bette.” It was like Bette already knew it.  But What would be new to her ears was the answer to her next question. That came and ripped my heart.

“Why did you forget about me?”

————————————-

She was far from me, near the edge of the terrace; still, I could see her tears rolling down her face.

“Babe…Babe…I would never…I would never forget you…I didn’t, Bette…I didn’t ….I tried to know about you…”

“But, you married, Tina…I never knew nothing about you. You never wanted to see me?!” The tears, her tears bombarded my heart. “You left me behind…”

“I tried to call, babe…Please, listen to me”, but Bette didn’t have ears to my words.

“If you’ve had disappeared, vanished in the air, If I really cared about you…I would never leave you behind without, at least,…at least, an explanation…” , her childish tone tore even more my broken heart.

“Babe…I tried… Please…”

“You obviously didn’t try it enough. I almost died and you weren´t there…”

Those words came with so much rage, but immersed in loneliness, that I couldn’t stand the distance anymore, I began to walk slowly while I heard my own lament. “Stop, babe…Please!”

 “I …I don´t know nothing about the car crash…I don´t know why I was in Mexico. I knew Barbara lied to me. Someway…I knew…I knew that something happened…I knew I’ve got more than a car crashed, because when I woke up, my heart just wasn’t there anymore… And it was you all the time…You forget about me…and now that is the only think I can be sure about.”
