Red Empty Bench Seat


I jump into my car, turn on the ignition and press the starter button…

As the tired 49 years old engine starts, and I glimpse on the rear view mirror the small puff of white smoke,

As I engage the 1st gear, and start hearing the different noises that come from the many still ongoing mechanisms,

As I turn on the old Becker Mexico, and push the wonder bar looking for a nice song,

As I shift gears, climb hills, avoid water puddles, and drive on small empty roads…

I can’t but think of you…

I miss you sitting next to me on the red bench seat, making fun of the car, calling it “tombor”, laughing, complaining, and talking, talking, talking…

I miss enjoying these crazy little things with you!

I miss living with you…
