She cut my hair, put me in a white dress and sent me out into the world. I shuffled about the streets, there were lights everywhere. The beauty of it all was disorientating. I felt confused and in awe. Then I saw you. And that’s when everything changed. Between the autumn leaves, you stared right back. Although the streets were busy, we stood there just curiously throwing glances at each other, for what felt like a life time. I don’t know you, and I will never get the chance too. Our worlds more counterclockwise, in fact you were walking the opposite way. But for that brief moment, everything felt just in an unjust world. It was just you and me, and for that second I was sure that was all I ever needed to feel alive.
