he was always the first

on the job

and the last to leave

silent guy

that’s why I liked him

There were nine of us

and we had to move

furniture and

garden decorations

and other stuff for people

who changed their address

it was heavy physical labor

alright

so it’s just normal to

sweat and stink

but he was on another level

I mean, the rest of us

we went home at the

end of the day and

we took showers

He slept in the

car

And I asked the others

why the hell did

he sleep in his car

when he lived in a big house

with his wife and

a little kid

and at first they didn’t

reply

and the second time

I asked

which was much later

they told me

he doesn’t go home

because there’s his

wife and kid there

I was still too young

to get it

It takes a certain amount

of living life

to understand such things

I was nineteen back then

but sure didn’t feel

like an adult

Actually,

I don’t feel like an adult

today either

I’m just old enough

to understand why

he refused to go

home

and chose to sleep

in his car

It wasn’t from him or

any of our colleagues,

but one day I just came

across the saying,

‘the heart once broken

can never, ever…’

and it just ends like

that.

The heart once broken can

never, ever…

Now everything makes a bit

more sense,

doesn’t it?

and even if it doesn’t,

it makes you

want to leave things

as they are

for to seek to uncover the

world’s mysteries is

to disturb the balance

of beauty

Just allow the world

to be what it will

and observe

but don’t interfere

the sooner you

learn this lesson

the better
