conversations

(he used to talk about love as if it was something that only happened to others)

sometimes she got attached to a certain concept and she kept using it in her conversations. she often wondered if anyone noticed this. like when she got accustomed to inserting random words in the middle of a phrase only to test if he was paying attention. he never seemed to realize. or maybe he did but he wouldn't mention it on purpose, just to leave her wondering.

she used to spend time listening to conversations in the train or the bus. people who felt that they had to fill the silence with words. they had no respect. the woman in the train who was talking to herself about sinners and the power of the bible to heal all pains. she probably had no deep sorrow to endure.
