Her Voice
31/July/2024 in Kraków
Last year in Kraków
I met her a few times
Every time,
what caught my attention was
her voice
Fragile, faint, whisper-like voice
She is a singer
A couple of days ago,
I met her
For the first time in almost 1 year
In a cafe,
she was talking about something
While listening,
vaguely I was remembering;
"........Last year, her voice always grabbed my attention"
"But today, up until now,
I forgot about her voice........"
She was talking about her recent breakup
• Her first relationship
• 3 years
• Ended by her
• "For a long time, everyone around me said I should break up with him. But I wasn't aware at all how bad it was.......until recently"
"Did he contact you after the breakup?"
I asked
"Yes"
She said. And quickly added
"I blocked him"
"I blocked him"
This line reached to my ears with spring-like fresh brightness
Probably even my eyes opened slightly wider
"I blocked him"
Last year,
she was definitely not a girl who could say this line,
definitely not in this careless way
Last year,
she definitely didn't have this strength & decisiveness
Several hours later
In my hotel room, alone
I was remembering our meeting
Her words
Her attitude
Her behaviours
Her body
.......every aspects of her surely gave off a certain lightness
"Lightness"
from being liberated from the relationship
Often a woman looks like this
Often a woman, who recently gets out of a relationship, has this air & vibe
This lightness
& This optimism
"I blocked him"
I was remembering that supreme line
It surely sounded like "a woman"
It surely indicted this fact: "She is a woman"
That strong-ness & decisiveness was surely a trait of a woman. Not a man
Felt like
I was reading a nice short summer story
about a naive inexperienced girl
found her own way
& growing into a woman
She changed
So did her voice
