Now I know

Now I know:

"Love is when the person you love opens the door for you
Takes your hand and give you a guided tour within himself/herself
As if visiting a house you have only seen from the outside
And now you are invited to explore it from the inside;
The colors, its special odors and smells, how the light is falling on objects
And also the shadows and dusty hidden places
You go up to the attic to see the window view
And then go down hand in hand to the main floor,
Where the books, CD'S and photo albums are neatly arranged
And eventually, you go down to the cellar
And there full of dust and spider webs are packed the memories, dreams and secrets
And when the guided tour ends, the person who loves you lets you continue on your own, freely, up and down the stairs
Open the photo albums, snoop into drawers, peek and taste from the pots,
Rip off the spider webs from wrinkled dreams, rusty as old tin toys

And even make a mess "

I smile when I read these words. I silence some words that pop up in my mind and seem to jump around, bouncing.
And my god, I love this mess.
How I love this mess... (grin)

fragment by Katzir, Yehudit (Judith)
out of "Dearest Anne - Hine ani mathila"

Rivi, a 39 year old married writer and the hero in the author's previous book, finds her diary she wrote in the days of her youth. She remembers her forbidden love, her feelings and the whole story.
