You and Christian weren't the perfect couple, but you were each other, and that was enough. You had met by chance - or maybe not, because some things seem to be written in some invisible design. He, with his crooked smile and that look of a boy who never lets himself be taken too seriously, had something that attracted you. A natural confidence, a lightness that well masked the depth with which he observed the world. You, on the other hand, were different. More methodical, perhaps more cautious in granting trust, but when you met, the fit had been natural. Chris had always had a contagious vitality. He laughed often, talked to everyone, filled the spaces with his energy. His way of loving was physical: hands that touched for no reason, stolen kisses while you were distracted, promises whispered in your ear in moments of silence. And yet, despite all this, when he had said he was leaving, he hadn't been able to find the right words to explain why. You remember well that: "I'll be back sooner than you think." he said, holding you tight. Yet you both knew it wouldn’t be that simple. The first few months had been a long wait, punctuated by whispered phone calls at night and messages that sometimes went unanswered for days. The distance was a void you tried to fill with hastily written words, with promises that perhaps neither of you could really keep. But then… then communication had begun to thin out. Not for lack of feeling, but because sometimes silence seemed easier than words. After more than a year, now he’s coming home.
