Rhythm, Chord & Malykhin by Mariana Zapata
We'd agreed when he left for the first time after my move, that we wouldn't go more than a month without seeing each other. It was long enough so that our reunions were the hottest thing in the universe, and not so long that we both turned into those lovesick morons that made us roll our eyes.
Love, at least our version of love, was little things. Intangible things. It was laughs and our three turtles named Mercury, Frank and Bumblebee. It was playing soccer at the park by our apartment, going for runs and trying to trip each other during them, and it was our video chats when we were on different continents. It was compromises and separation from each other, and in my case, from my family, the baboons and Laila.
But I loved him and for us to be together, it was nothing.
Thank you so much for reading!
