it was one of those mornings where it felt as though everything around me was a collection of fiction and broken reality almost sewed together on my skin. those mornings, where it seemed as though the sky was just a stretch closer to all the things you wish could possibly go right this time. five classes later, the bell rang and while most students made way to the cafeteria i stayed behind, told the girls i had work to do. i needed to be alone. away from all the noise. away from people. and away from food. at one point i lost touch with reality and plainly gazed at the trees standing outside the class window until my eyes tripped at the image of him. it was him. the guy i met at the store three moons ago. him. the nobody i knew nothing about. him. an utter stranger my wholebeing craved to read and memorize. i continue to watch. he looked like precious gold glistening under the watchful eye of the sun. then our sights collided. he saw me. and saw me seeing him. i instantly withdrew. couldn't help but pray that none of it was ever true and when i looked up and searched for him, my brain malfunctioned at the realisation he was no longer there. it was almost as if he vanished like pixie dust mercilessly blown off by the wind or maybe perhaps it's all in my mind.
