“I’m here. I love you. I don’t care if you need to stay up crying all night long, I will stay with you. There’s nothing you can ever do to lose my love. I will protect you until you die, and after your death I will still protect you. I am stronger than Depression and I am braver than Loneliness and nothing will ever exhaust me.” 

― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

I watched her as she hurried in front of me to catch the train.Today she looked more beautiful than any other day, or maybe that's what I thought everyday since I had first seen her three weeks ago as she had slammed in me one day in her hurry.She had not noticed me as I stood staring at her, seeing for the first times what the artistic beauty really meant.

With her wavy blonde hair,high cheek bones,full red lips and rosy complexion,she looked like a Greek goddess but I could'nt miss the dark bags under her eyes showing her lack of sleep.I could see her long legs in dark jeans and leather clad boots trying to find a decent seat as I hurried after her.

Luckily I found a seat behind her today. I pulled my hoodie up to cover my face as I studied her like usual.She was now looking for something in her bag.I knew what it was.Soon she had her eyes closed with her headphones plucked in as her feet moved lightly on what she listening.I pulled my backpack from the floor and took out what I needed right now. Soon my hand had started moving on the pad as my eyes remained glued to the magnificent girl in front of me where I could see a tint of grey eye shadow today on her eye lids and a hint of concealer beneath her eyes which had failed in hiding her eye bags.

I knew she did'nt sleep at night. But I did'nt know why,though the thought bothered me to the level that at times I even imagined singing her to sleep.I wanted to know why her face lacked the brightness of happiness which was visible to me.I could see all this, because I had been gifted to see things that others could'nt.I did'nt know why she intrigued me so much but, I knew one thing for sure.

I wanted to know her.

Heck I did'nt even know her name , I bitterly  thought as I added the final touches to my piece of art .I felt the train stop and I got off after her and some others who shared the same destination as us.

"Us?,lol!",I laughed at my stupid thoughts and saw her get away .As I began to walk towards my place where I would soon see her again , I was thinking.......,

"There could be no us, there can be no us".
