The whole thing, with the quiet undoing of their love, started on a very typical, unexceptional kind of day. The café was packed with people, and the only free spot was right here. “Mind if I sit here?” he muttered as her was sitting there by herself.
“Go ahead, ” she said. “Just don't make too much noise. I'm working.”
He chuckled, and she involuntarily returned the smile. Not long afterwards, he brought another cup of coffee and put it next to her laptop.
“This is for you.”
“Oh, you take way too many liberties.”
“Perhaps. But I was right, wasn't I?”
This is the way it started.
By chance, they kept running into each other until it no longer felt like it was by chance. Everything she said was a magnet for his attention. She was delighted with the manner in which he talked about the things like dreams, music, and all the other things that she had forgotten to take pleasure in.
In the morning, he was sending her letters. She was answering with her accustomed humor, pretending that his attention was not making her heart beat unevenly. She was slow in love, but when she finally got it, she was already too much in love to turn back.
The transition was a whisper. The messages became shorter. Calls were not returned. The warmth of his presence was getting colder.
“You are pulling away, ” she noticed.
“No. I'm just trying to figure things out.”
“Why don’t you figure them out with me then?”
Once more, he kept quiet. The quiet that followed this talk seemed very long. She was lying awake that night, outwardly quiet and composure, breaking inside. Women of Capricorn do not fall at people's feet. They will only experience everything in quiet.
When he came to her place one night, he looked very much like a man who had been weighed down with his guilt.
“What I have to offer you is not enough for you.”
“This is not the decision that belongs to you.”
“Things will turn out better if we do it this way.”
She was not crying. She just followed his departure with her eyes. After he left, she remained there in the doorway for a while, feeling the cold air against her skin.
The days continued to pass. She was concentrating on her work, her dreams, and her inner peace. Women born under the Capricorn sign are able to start over from scratch.
Sometimes she would think of him, not with sorrow, but with a deep kind of understanding. He had only one thing to teach, and that was something she had already known from her heart: love is not a permanent thing, but it always changes you.
One night, as the lights of the city were twinkling under her window, she smiled.
“You will never find someone else to love you as I did.”
And she was right.
“Go ahead, ” she said. “Just don't make too much noise. I'm working.”
He chuckled, and she involuntarily returned the smile. Not long afterwards, he brought another cup of coffee and put it next to her laptop.
