Soul Maze

Author's name: Fatima Al-Zahraa Faraji

Love is like throwing yourself off a high bridge with no guarantees, but you believe that the person you love will catch you. Will you catch me, Adam?

Sometimes I'm afraid of this feeling that weighs me down, of the crowd of thoughts that multiply inside me, of all the women inside me that talk, discuss, clash, and collapse.

Walking into your apartment without knowing you, without ever speaking to you, without you even knowing I existed, didn't lessen the feeling I felt as I took my first steps into the place. Through the silence that surrounded the place, I knew what was inside you before I met you. I simply felt a sense of belonging, do you understand?

Your face was familiar in the crowd, as if I had passed by you one day without meeting you. I don't know why I chose a strange face to be my companion on the journey.

I will wait for you, Adam.
