I had a cinematic moment today.
I was walking down the street, a guy walking next to me and our eyes met. It was one of those looks that held a bit of weight, an understanding without explanation. We kept walking at the same speed, almost as if we were both lonely and just walking beside a complete stranger was the closest thing to intimacy we could find. When I stopped at a light, to turn, he kept walking and looked back staring me right in the eye. It seems so silly and simple but I haven"t been able to shake the feeling it left me with. I wish I had said something; I wish I hadn't had head phones in. I wish I didn't try to keep the world at bay while wishing so badly someone would come by and understand me.
