TOWER

There was two children.  They know of the existence of one another, like you know there is people at the other side of the Globe; like you know there is water, and there is grass.  You don't really care, nothing at all, but you know there is.

     The kids grew.  And met.  And became friends.  Friends like those you spend an hour maximum, those who you do not call on weekends, those who you just know their names and a little more, and happen to talk on glances when, occasionally, passed by each other's side.

     Suddenly, they passed by each other's side more than the usual.  They became friends.  Those who you call on weekends, those who know more than their names and more of the other than the self, and happen to talk every time.

     They were nothing but friends, and soon as they opened their eyes from a blink, they were together.  Out of nothing.  But they realized.  And as they realized, decided both to build a tower.

     They were so in... something that doesn't existed.

- Let just call it "Love". - said the boy.

     And the tower was named "Love".  The boy and the girl soon began to pick bricks to build the tower.

     They were so in... uhmm... "Love".  So they named the bricks too.  The Respect brick, the Laughter brick, the Lust brick.  Every thing to keep perfect and sane a relationship.

     But they have got empty of bricks, and I don't know how, but from a lower level of the tower, was a space, a space for a brick.  So the boy picked one from the top, and tried to put it there, but it wouldn't fit.

- Hey, the Trust brick don't fit. - said the boy.

- Don't worry, we can throw it away, is it for no use either on the top. - replied the girl.

     So they threw away the brick.

     As the time passes flying away, as the wind swoosh, it flied so fast it hits the tower.  They think the tower would stand it.  But it don't.  They needed Trust.  And the tower fell, and she died in between the bricks.

     The boy got sad, but the time flying fast that hit the tower, was flying so fast he just forgot about she.

     And the time kept flying.  And pushed a girl towards him.  The story goes over: they became friends and lovers.  But when they began to build again the tower Love, the boy made sure to have enough Trust to each other.

     And so he began to made Love.  He was pushing himself hard for.  He don't wanted to lose anyone else.  The girl doesn't knew how to build.  But instead of trying to learn, she just sit back waiting for him.

     He got exhausted.  Picking all the heavy bricks, doing good maintenance of the tower, putting it one by one so Love looked good.

     But he was so tired, he stopped to build Love.  The tower was mid-way, it wasn't finished.  And the time came flying fast again, and hit the tower again.  And the tower fell and trapped the boy.

     The girl, scared, began to cry.  She loved him, but never helped him build Love.  And with more fear, and crying, she ran away.

     The boy didn't died, he was beneath the bricks, struggling.  He swore he wouldn't ever build Love again.  He managed to escape the bricks.  But he got scars, internal bleeds.

     And the time flying fast by, came again.  But the scars and the internal bleed doesn't seem to leave him.

And bleeding and with scars, he smiled.
