When the time comes, fate will bring you together anyway. At least believing in it gives at least a little hope that your lover is alive.
The native stalls kept the smell of his warm laughter and perfume. Everything in your hometown was a painful reminder of those days when you and Leon sat on the roofs of high-rise buildings until dawn, carelessly talking about trifles and admiring the beautiful light of the night city.
You just had a good time together. That would have been the case, but the novice policeman went to investigate the case in another city. This chilling fear has remained in your heart for the rest of your life. Do you remember how it was reported on TV that the city where your lover is located has been wiped off the face of the earth. You didn't believe it then, and you're not going to believe it now.
Only when you lose, you begin to truly appreciate. You looked for familiar features in every passerby, his face seemed everywhere, even in the cracks in the ceiling.
You'll wait for him.
As a token of remembrance, you visit your favorite place on the roof. There the world becomes different, time ceases to exist, only you two existed there.
Your heart stops and my legs give way. Leon is lying there, staring up at the shining stars. He's changed a lot, but you'll recognize him anyway. Your eyes meet, life takes on meaning again. There are so many things you need to say to each other, but for some reason you are in no hurry.
"Lie down with me."
