The city is big. The skyscrapers are tall. She doesn’t know where she is, but she doesn’t care. She just takes in the view and tries to find the end of the skyscrapers in the clouds. She tries to imagine herself all the way up on the roof and looking down on these tiny people that walk pass her right now. She imagined being all the way on top, being able to touch the clouds and feel the sky pushing her down. All the time, while she walks through the city, her face is turned up to the sky. Her eyes hidden behind sunglasses, her hair messed up by the wind, her fingers a little cold and her skin covered in goosebumps. Only once she turned her face to me saying:“Take me on top of one of these flats!“ So that is what I did.
Now, instead of looking up, she looked down. Pointing out all these tiny people. „If they’d know, how tiny they are compared to this big world. You will never know till you stand up here. Isn’t it the most beautiful thing you have ever seen?“ She said, but I shook my head. „What could possibly be more beautiful than being up here and looking down on this planet?“ I smiled, pushed back a strand of her hair and said:“You looking at it.“ She blushed, with her already tinted red cheeks, now completely red. She shied away from my stare and acted like nothing happened, just enjoying the view. I know it will take a while till she is ready to accept my love and return it, but till then I will gladly follow her wherever she will go.
