He was walking alone again under the cold sky
His thoughts plaguing,
Making him seemingly emotionless and stiff with depression
Just walking down that normal street with the same faceless people hurrying about their lives.
His melancholy soul lifted his head to take a deep breath of the chilled air,
And in relieving his cool sigh, his somber eyes met with another pair
They held, and this boy gazed upon this beautiful stranger
Almond eyes, silky black hair, and perfect lips forming the cutest smile
And he smiled back at the charming girl walking towards him.
The two slowed their pace until they gently collided,
And for that fleeting moment his mind was cleared of all afflictions.
Then she backed away.
He was left staring after the beauty that had brushed his lips,
Watching, unsure of what to think.
She turned on her retreat,
Giving him a sly wink before she disappeared amongst the crowd.
He was left walking alone again under the cold sky,
A unique smile showing his mind,
And his thoughts,
Focused on his favorite stranger.
