Why am I not confident enough to walk with you?

The image of you shaking chicken and cooking a meal makes me unforgettable. We are together like that, love from afar because of the distance during the epidemic. In the last days of April last year, I went to Dien Chau (Nghe An) to play, a peaceful coastal countryside, both extremely happy. Covid separates me, but fate allows us to work together. The days in the small motel room, there was nothing but a pressure cooker, but it was enough for the two of us. I cook rice, I wash clothes…, poor but happy.

Work brought the two of us far away, together in the land of Khe Sanh (Quang Tri). During the months of working, I forgot time because of the progress of two projects, my hair fell in bunches, it was hard but happy because we always had each other. At the beginning of October last year, I had to go to the West with an offshore project, the days you recorded at the end of the diary. We are together at work, anytime, anywhere. Colleagues say he has a very precious diamond.

The day he went back to Khe Sanh, we sat together at a cafe on the top of the mountain, watching the Rao Quan river drift by. Sitting there, I kept remembering the days two and three o’clock in the morning I still had to work, the days and nights you were alone there, and I went to Ca Mau. We only know how to encourage each other through video calls every night. Back in the capital, we’re still together, but then I don’t understand why I don’t have the confidence to walk with you. You can’t forget, you can’t get used to it. If he had one wish, he wished that Manh Ba soup was real, so that he could step on Nai Ha bridge and forget it.

I remember the days when we went to the warehouse together, it was raining lightly, the voice behind me: “Is it cold, brother?” I remember the days when I returned to Ben village, moved with you, and went to the fields to plant rice. His dreams, hopes and love are still there. Do you love me or do you love the happy days we had? You in my heart are the one who understands me best. I miss you, you know?
