My friend S

So without knocking the door, as per ritual, I enter the the room and he lies in front of me, my friend S, unshaven unclean unkempt on a pile of dirty clothes. I haven't met him in a few days and I am sure he has been up to no good. Rudely interrupting my thoughts he exclaims

"Do you know how she looks like"?

"No! Which is generally the case when I havent seen people but I can see why you would nt know that" I tell him

"You know when a painter draws a painting. Say a face, no say a woman's face, and then he realises there are some mistakes in the painting? and then he erases the parts he doesn't like and then fixes them again and then again and then again un till the picture is just right ? just perfect? just flawless? "" he explains

"yeah?"

"Thats her face. Right then and then. thats her face. Perfect in all ways"

"okaaaaaaaaaaaaay! thats one way of saying you think she is beautiful"

"and there is another. Have you looked at the sun? have you noticed how wonderfully it shines"?

"Yeah ! I mean I live in Berlin so I did it once last year"

"Can you imagine how brightly it shines? and all the other stars? all put together? the entire galaxy? it shines so magnificently. BUT that just fades into comparison to when she smiles. the galaxy appears to be so dull and pointless and bland and blank and boring and uninteresting. When she smiles, its brighter than a thousand suns"

"Her love has made you quite a romantic I would say" I say

" and you know special relativity right? I can swear that when you sit with her for 5 minutes its already 3 hours. Seriously I swear this happens "

"I am sure it does! So what are you going to do about it? just lying here?"

"Why do you think I am lying here in the first place? I told her .and she well , she has "other interests" in mind. How can she? Do you think anyone else can describe her the way I can ?

"She might be looking for something other than description you know"

"She is Aphrodite , Venus, she is the real goddess of love and beauty. She is the epitome of awesomenesses amazingness but the only thing she is not, is that she is not mine" He says almost crying ignoring what I had said.

"Oh God!"
