Sea aroma
I woke up mid-morning to a strong smell of the sea. I look at the ceiling, my tired body and immobile arms move slowly to place themselves under my head. I lie on my back in the bed of that hotel I promised never to return to, but which I always loved because it reminds me of you. I can hear the waves from my sheets, there is so much calm, I barely remember how I got here, I only think about the first day we came to this same room, and I swear I can hear the moans of the times I loved you in this same bed.
