Description

I've seen her here several times before. Beautiful.. but still a stranger. They tell me stay away from that one, she's homeless, she's trouble and probably worse. Finally I gain enough courage and say hi... We talk for a bit about nothing. Then we talk again and again, about nothing, or anything and everything... hour after hour into the night and then morning. It's okay to be me, sharing my life, crazy thoughts, past mistakes even future dreams. I listened for hours and only wanted more. Ive never felt so peaceful and warm without any worries. She said she felt the same. Her eyes smiling at me as she listened to every word, asking questions with a genuine interest in everything about me. I can't wait to see her again to share everything in my day. I want to tell her about silly kid that waved at me, ask about her mother who just returned from vacation. To share the song I heard on the radio today. Even the thought of her makes me smile. I open my eyes. I was only dreaming...about a person I have not met. Maybe my imagination punishing me for prior relationships i sabotaged and then quickly left. Surrounded by family and friends, yet I am here all alone.
