The Vertigo of Relationships

At first it seemed impossible, and in more than 25 years they tried to make it last forever.
He had a good job and a good salary as well. He met her there. He liked to make excuses to see her of fantasize with secret names and dates.

He could described in details the way she waved her arms when walking or how she struggled to hide her lack of vision because she did not like to wear glasses, or even how she touched her neck when she wanted to ask something or her way to cross her legs when sitting in a bench of the park.

On the other hand, she thought him insecure, shy and even childish. From time to time, she accepted with a mocking grin some of his compliments, some of them made her laugh.

Her visits to the bakery became more frequent and one Friday was the first encounter and then another and the process repeated for over a year.

Then it came a wedding with a cake, and then three kids, a house they built with their own hands and even a half-breed leap dog.
The thing was risky. Sometimes too much desire and little time, and others too much time and lack of desire.

Some moments became boring and inaccurate, of anger and fantasies, interesting and monotonous.
For 25 years the scene continued as an epic story. They became unconditional friends, lovers, acquainted, sweethearts, friends again and a conventional couple.

And they had fights, distances, forgiveness and many words, but they have never stopped trying.
Y sucedieron peleas, distancias, perdones y muchas palabras. Pero nunca han parado de intentarlo.
