Silences...
I've known Valeria since I was too young to look at her twice and I'm too conscious to do so. We grew together, but not at the same pace. It was always easy for me to take care of her, to listen to her, to be there. The difficult part came later, when she stopped needing protection and began to take up space. Valeria says she wants to be with me. I say no. Not because I don't feel anything, but because I feel too much and at the wrong time. Sometimes I look at her and see the girl I have known forever; others, someone I shouldn't want. Work, routine, adult decisions. Her: university, changes, open future. Among us there is something that is not named, but it weighs heavily. And the more I try to keep it in place, the clearer I am that not everything you take care of... he is innocent.
