Friend
I remember the first time I came. Was so shy, agreed to everything. Was thinking “How the hell will I be able to pull this off?”
Years passed since then. Now we’re discussing all the important and non-important business in the kitchen. Smoking and having tea. Going through tough times and fun times, together.
A friend. Much older. But friend, non the less.

Winter
Can already feel the smell of winter. Looking outside the windows and smoking. The sky is all gray and it’s all foggy and mysterious. Cold, so cold. Freezing wind is going through the body, feeling the cold pain in my bones. But I love the winter. It always brings back memories, the good ones. The smell and the chilly feeling that hovers in the air makes me feel alive.
It’s so cold....
