A year passed — no touch, just time on the phone
Then came that day… 17th, I wasn’t alone
Back in Albania, visit room cold as the steel
But November showed mercy and made it feel real
Sun shining through the bars like a silent bless
I was pacing in my boots, trying to calm my chest
She walked in — damn, just like a dream would do
And I froze for a second like, “Is that really you?”
She was better than the screen, better than the laugh
Better than the voice notes we used to send back
My hands shaking hard, like I caught a charge again
I tried to smile smooth, but my nerves gave in
We hugged — twenty seconds, man, I didn’t know how
Just stood there like fools, just taking it in now
She had her coat on, some scent I still smell
And her eyes? Bro, her eyes cast a different spell
We kissed — soft, shy, in that sterile-ass space
Guards nearby, but they ain’t ruin that taste
She pulled my lip gently, then kissed my cheek
And whispered some line that made my knees go weak
We laughed, we talked, just like old souls would
Two hours went quick — and it felt too good
I told her, “You glow different when you’re standing here”
She said, “You feel more real than I ever feared”
Our eyes locked often, like they both had confessions
Like they both seen pain but now found a connection
She said, “You’re even more you when you’re not behind glass”
And I said, “You’re the first future I’ve ever let pass”
We joked about dumb things, bakery names
She said she’d bake love, I’d sell dreams with my name
Said we’d live small, just joy and flame
Said fuck the world — just play our game
That day carved itself inside my chest
And every month since, I’ve replayed the rest
The way her voice cracked saying, “I missed your face”
The way she wiped her tears like it’s no big case
