-Do you think not knowing our names is a good thing?- I asked with fear, thinking that I will show signs of judgment towards our secrets.
-What would it change if we knew each other's names? We would be someone, described by others.
I looked at her and didn't know what was this feeling. Maybe disagreement?Anger? But yet everything she says is true. Like she knows what it means to forget your value and be a definition of ordinary.
-Will I know your name one day?
Her body slightly shifted and she reached out her hand towards the falling drops of golden tears of gods, who envy mortals, as she loved to say once in a while. The look on her face was calm and wise. She always smiled, although that smile represented loneliness in my eyes. She was quiet for a while. Like a goddess, silently laughing at the gift of knowing nothing, that was given to me. And then she spoke:
-Agapi.
-Agapi?- my mind was touched with a word, that felt dear to me.
-Agapi. That is your name. I will know you, call you and turn to you knowing that you are Agapi, a person who wishes to know me.
She gave me a name. A name that felt...true?
-T-then, can I give you a name too?- I replied, looking at those ocean eyes, that were lightly covered by her brown hair.
She nodded:
-What do you wish to call me, my sweet Agapi?
-Thea.
Her eyes widened. As if I said something, that was forbidden to know.
-So be it, my dear Agapi....we finally introduced ourselves.
