I have always been a quiet person
Keeping my thoughts to myself
Not caring to be involved in a conversation
Or what people thought of me
But that rainy afternoon
While I was sipping my coffee
Doing my thing, minding my business
In a small coffee shop
Someone joined me on the opposite chair
“Let’s have a deep conversation,” she said
Putting my coffee down, in a confused tone I said,
“Excuse me?”
“You heard me,” she went on,
“Let’s talk.”
“About what?” I asked.
She replied, “Anything. Life, cats, tea, whatever it is.”
I thought about it and I realized
That’s what I needed, talking to a complete stranger
“What is your favorite color and why?” I asked
“I love red. It saved my life.”
“Weird, how can a color save a life?”
She showed me her wrist
There was a scar,
“I realized I didn’t want to leave this world when I saw this red liquid coming out of me,” was her response.
