Felix, the green jacket · Berlin

Where & when

• WG in Kreuzberg, Oranienstraße · Berlin · Germany 2014–2016 the room at the end of the hallway

About them then

Felix · about 25 then

A lanky sound engineer with ink-black curls and a worn dark-green wool jacket he wore in every season. He played bass in a band nobody had heard of and made the best lentil soup in our shared flat.

Who I was then

The Swedish girl in the room by the bathroom who watered your plants and lost every board game.

Why I'm writing

To give something back · Hoping to meet again

We shared a WG on Oranienstraße for two years and were a couple for the second one. When we split, in the cold part of 2016, I left in a hurry and took your green jacket by mistake, still smelling of cigarettes and lentil soup. I have kept it in a wardrobe in three different cities. It is a ridiculous thing to carry around, but it was never mine to throw away.
