the strangers decided to meet on a hot and dry day<\/p>\n
he arrived first and was standing there looking over the blue ocean waves<\/p>\n
she had not arrived and was late<\/p>\n
and he was filled with frustration<\/p>\n
thinking about life and his fears<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
she arrived and they decided to go to the cafe on that late day<\/p>\n
they were perfect strangers,<\/p>\n
and felt like they were the only people in the universe<\/p>\n
she reassured him that her lateness was not because she felt confused<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
she was quite clear<\/p>\n
and quite tired of her life of solitude<\/p>\n
her empty life<\/p>\n
which only made her feel out of control<\/p>\n
and tired of perpetuating a falsehood<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
after a few hours they embraced<\/p>\n
tasted the salt on each others lips<\/p>\n
and her smell reminded him of ripe and sweet black berries<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
they sat there smelling the rain<\/p>\n
on that elevated cliff<\/p>\n
where that caf\u00e9 was situated<\/p>\n
watching the sails on the ships fly<\/p>\n
