Tinder is the key to success. That's where I found him. He had long black hair. His love for rock music could be read on his face. He's the chosen one, that's it. A little more and I got married. We talk about bands for a few days, then we decide to enjoy a beer and a Pink Floyd album at his house. After the album ends, he gets close to me and looks deep into my eyes, smiling. My heart was jumping out of my chest with happiness when suddenly his phone rang and then everything fell apart. His ringtone was a manele song from Salam.
