The straight line is the utopia.
It is the relationship without beginning or end. But we do not trust it… it is a religious, non-human relationship.
While true, but still difficult, is the semi-straight one, a relationship that has a beginning but not an end
Is this the relationship we’re looking for?
Which comes and stays. It does not disappoint, it does not abandon…
Unlike the segment, which begins… and then ends. Well, bad… you don’t know.
But then things get complicated…
You go to three points… and the figures come, the dimensions increase…
The relationship is wider, longitude and latitude draw new forms… but still not enough.
The two-dimensionality does not warm us, so thin to be fragile, like a frame that lacks something.
Then it comes…
The depth. And everything changes.
It is in this new dimension that we recognize ourselves. And this is where we risk.
The relationship finds a “space” inside and a greater weight. I can build, I can move, increase, grow.
But space is linked to “having” the other. And if there is… we are missing a piece.
Is this the terrible mistake?
Seeing each other as the set of things done or owned.
So even space… is not enough
Then we abandon geometry for…
…fall asleep and dream of ourselves more beautiful, after a relationship, after a good evening, after a year of school, after a night of love, after… after… after…
Time helps us to understand that space is only for material things.
And that the depth is seeing that there is a before and an after.
Because if after… after… after… what happened, there is not only a frame of the past but the image of a relationship…
…You know that everything has changed, even if you can’t touch anything anymore.
