August 5, 2013.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Hello Mileta,<\/h2>\n<p>I&#039;m writing to you so I don&#039;t forget to tell you. Or, if I forget, I would convey it by this letter.<\/p>\n<p>After returning from Var\u0117na, I realized that I want to communicate with you. Not to communicate, not to be friends and not to share kisses, but to communicate.<\/p>\n<p>Let me explain.<\/p>\n<p>Did you know I liked it when I laid my head on your lap and told you how I wanted to travel but I didn&#039;t know where? I enjoyed telling it and seeing you listen! I like to dream, fantasize, create. Talk and think. Read and then tell.<\/p>\n<p>It&#039;s just weird that I don&#039;t get enough opportunities to do that when I&#039;m with you.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, I said I was with you <a href=\"https:\/\/debesyla.lt\/uzrasai\/en\/ode-dziaugsmui-i\/\">am I forgetting my thoughts?<\/a><strong> I used to think it was nice. But\u2026 Really?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You like to interact with people, I can see that. And sometimes I&#039;m really interested to hear your stories about other people and what they did when they saw you. The problem is that I&#039;m even more interested in your personal thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>I&#039;m more interested in what&#039;s brewing in your head. Your dreams and hopes. Poetry of thoughts. Creation.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at your happy friends in Cyprus, the thought struck me: &quot;We are all the same in pleasure and pain. And only in creativity and work is the uniqueness of a person revealed.&quot; I&#039;m more interested in what you dream and think than what others have thought and done.<\/p>\n<p>The retelling of events to me is just background to your thoughts. Although I remember the background, I often don&#039;t care about it at all. At all. (Well, okay, I&#039;m lying, sometimes I care, but I&#039;ll forget that at this point).<\/p>\n<p>It is difficult for me to respond to bare narratives. I can&#039;t think of anything to say that would be appropriate or funny. Communication disappears.<\/p>\n<p>And I don&#039;t like it. When I&#039;m with you, I want to communicate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">* * *<\/p>\n<p>But this is only the first part of the letter.<\/p>\n<p>I&#039;ve never really been much of a sociable person. I&#039;m relatively introverted, usually only hanging out with a few close friends. And with everyone else - well, only out of necessity, only for fun and only sometimes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Do you remember the few times I told you something that was on my mind and then I forgot what it was in an instant?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I speak so that the thoughts will fly out of my head, reach others and then settle imperceptibly in the memory. Just like the force of a sea wave, it works for just a moment, and after the rebound, it disappears.<\/p>\n<p>I&#039;ve probably already mentioned that I like to dream, fantasize and weave my thoughts into something incredible, right? I even called myself a poet once. Through a short time.<\/p>\n<p>Thinking about supernovas while lying in bed with you is something to me... Poetic, exciting and beautiful. Describing you, your beauty and my passion for living. I&#039;m not talking about them to teach you like a schoolboy. I speak and weave them like a poet.<\/p>\n<p>I&#039;m sorry that those science-related thoughts will discourage you. But I weave beauty out of what I have. Forgive me for not holding back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I want to communicate with you.<\/strong> I don&#039;t like it when you lie quietly in bed without even smiling or when you ask me what I&#039;m thinking about <a href=\"https:\/\/debesyla.lt\/uzrasai\/en\/ode-dziaugsmui-i\/\">i can&#039;t <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/debesyla.lt\/uzrasai\/en\/ode-dziaugsmui-i\/\">nothing <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/debesyla.lt\/uzrasai\/en\/ode-dziaugsmui-i\/\">to answer<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I don&#039;t like having to sort through the thoughts I&#039;m expressing to you. Then I feel incomplete, like I&#039;m forgetting a part of me. After all, I like to be whole.<\/p>\n<p>I want to communicate with you. I want to find topics that you would be interested in listening to, asking and talking about. I don&#039;t know how to find them. Maybe I&#039;ll end up starting a new collection: &quot;652 Questions I Want to Ask Mileta&quot;?<\/p>\n<p>confused,<br \/>\n<strong>Daniel<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p style=\"font-size: 0.8em;\">Goal of the day: <a style=\"border: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/debesyla.lt\/uzrasai\/en\/issukis-365\/\">139 words<\/a>.
