crown and lego
The evening was approaching us. I invited you to swim and to my surprise you said yes. We were joined by another guest who soon realized that he wasn’t supposed to be there. Though we insisted that we didn’t mind him there with us, he soon made his way out peacefully for us to be alone. I was honestly grateful to have the pool to ourselves. Now that I’m writing about it though, I’m wondering if he thought that I was some prostitute considering the neighborhood I lived in at the time was the infamous red district of the city (I wanted to complain but it was given for free by the company).
Nobody else was in the swimming pool until we finished. Before we headed back to the room, we were staring at dozens of buildings which decorated the city’s skyline. Just like any metropolis city, this one has quite a number of interesting ones. The swimming pool was blessed to have a view of what is probably one of the most unique looking skyscrapers in the world. I told you I liked that one building then you pointed out how you liked another building that had a “crown” on it. It did look a like crown as it was painted in yellow so perhaps that could be the point. I said yeah that one is unique too, but I still prefer the lego building.
To which you then responded by saying that’s what I like about you.

That was what you liked about me. That I stood by what I said I liked and didn’t easily get bothered what others might have to say.
Fast forward time and here I am, 2 years later still haunted by that one compliment. To this day whenever I see those two buildings, my thoughts always race back to the swimming pool. If I ever post anything with a cryptic message referring to that moment, would you immediately realize that I’d be trying to communicate with you? Would you find it annoying that after all this time I still can’t shake my feelings off?
There’s never been anyone else that saw through me the way you did. Every other guy only saw my pretty face and wondered what it felt like to be inside me, without really wanting to get to know me.
