One thing that I've been meaning to do for my whole life was to escape. Escape from things that holds me back & things that bring me down. I've done it. I escaped from my miseries. And so I wondered how can a peaceful creature draw me in and caught me so fast. I can't take my eyes off it as if it had been the subject of my dreams. He stood there, innocently & silently, unable to digest his surroundings. I have always been curious of how he can do such wonderful things without doing anything. He made it beat faster than any rush I felt whenever I do extreme sports. He made me halt from my steps. I don't know how he did that but I was completely drawn by him. Maybe it was his hazel brown eyes or maybe it's his disheveled curly locks but he had me stuck to the place where I stood the moment I saw him. It was magical and enchanting. It never crossed my mind to stop wandering. It was my life goal. And when I caught a glimpse of his beauty, I was in my own world- wondering. I wonder what he's thinking. I wondered why he looks so lost. Maybe he is really lost. Gathering up my courage, I slowly walked to the place where he's been standing and asked him if he's okay & that he seemed lost. I gave him a friendly smile. He shyly smiled my way & boy, my heart melted when I saw him smiling. I think it was really his eyes  that captivated me most. It was so innocent & pure. His eyes is the windows to his emotions. I can see right through him. He said that he was indeed lost. He asked me about a certain place I am also not aware of. I am lost too. I was new to the place  so I am not quite sure of things & places. I caught myself off guard by stuttering in front of him. I never stuttered! He, of all the people I encountered in my journey, made me stutter. It was a breath of fresh air to me. Minutes of silence dawned upon us as we stood awkwardly, silently observing our surroundings. Luckily, a kind old woman walked past near us. I managed to ask her the place he's been looking for and got an answer. He was still there, smiling while looking at the old woman. I can't help but steal glances at him as time passes by while she gives us directions to the place. Whenever he'd caught me looking at him, he'd smile back at me. He is gorgeous. I've never met someone so gorgeous and innocent as he is. Judging from his outfit, he is used to traveling. We thanked her & she left. Again, I stood by his side awkwardly. I never felt so awkward in my entire existence. I was flabbergasted when he asked me if I have something else to do & if it's alright for me to go with him. I don't know why but I didn't even hesitate to agree. Heck I didn't even feel a tad bit nervous when he asked me that. I was assured that he won't do anything ridiculous. The place was peaceful, cozy & cool. It was a scenery out from the books. It has enthralled me. We were the only people in the place so we got to appreciate its beauty more. I thought it was because he was there, he made the place look magical. We jumped from the top of it & enjoyed the rush it gave us as we plummeted through its waters. We shared stories of our journeys & cracked some jokes. He is someone worthy to be with in an adventure. He's a gentleman with the right sense of humor- definitely a man every girl wants to be with. By the time the sunset's gone, we parted ways. I was dazed by the turn of events. I never planned to go on an adventure to the city I was about to leave behind. The journey was short, yes, but it changed things. The place garnered a special place in my heart. I don't know how but he captured me, my heart & soul. He left me with a great impact like a moth to the fire. I got burned by him. I didn't know it was possible to love someone so deeply in a short span of time. I didn't even got the chance to know his name. I fell in love to a man with no name.
