It is
Friday night. In the air you can feel jazz melodies, perfume fragrances and
food, which is sold with a few percent discount. Tired bodies dress up
festively and go to get drunk with a cheap beer and jazz to forget about the
system. From the closest pub, amateur musicians play without talent cover
versions of their lives. In front of the pub a dog and a cat chase each other in
a circle, proving that opposites are attracted. The pub is full of tired faces
who have come to tell the world that their bodies still represent life. They
come here regularly, looking for new emotions.
I stand in the empty room and the jazz music strikes in the closed window as a dance invitation. I slowly dress my green dress, in which I am tempted to seduce you. So, as I did it thousand times in my thoughts. I put my red lipstick, whose language does not need to be translated. It sends an invitation. My dark hair merges with the night out, ready for victories and voluntary losses.
You stand alone in your empty room. You are slowly dressing your dark blue shirt, in which you could hide your insecurity. Then you decisively reach for the perfume that should inspire determination. Instead, its sharp and exotic aroma fills you with doubts. Doubts like before hunting.
The pub is already full of people, old stories and gossips. Lonely eyes, blurred by the steam, go around hoping that somebody will stop them and speak. Tired of life and swollen by the alcohol faces tell about old victories when hunting was the surest way to impress a woman. No, not their wife, who is already something that has been experienced and that does not bring new excitements. The male eyes are looking for a new woman with a green dress that will admire their stories and silent pauses behind which they will try to conceal their excitement. Women's eyes are looking for heroes, hunters of lonely hearts like theirs. Women's eyes can see the excitement, because they are already somebody's wives, exercising every day not to notice the white hair and the old stories of past victories of their unfaithful husbands.
It is full of women with green dresses and red lipstick. It is full of tall
men with dark blue shirts and shy eyes. But I am not there. You too are missing.
