I met this girl today by mere accident sitting across from me on an old wooden bench engraved with markings of the past couples and the men and women who just needed a break from everything to think. As she sat there she waved her long void black hair from side to side smiling in the warm shimmering light. Knowing who I am I blushed a crimson red as she looked up to see me there looking at her. We locked eyes for the moment and in sensual happiness she smiled......for some unknown reason she smiled at me. To dumbfounded extents I looked around to see if I had misinterpreted what was happening at the moment but I wasn't. She shook her head no as I motioned to someone else and instead she had smiled at me directly. Staring at her for what seemed like forever I found myself consumed in this girls view. With taking daring steps I departed the spot of dead grass I was standing on to say hello. When I opened my mouth I let out a whimper as I had become discombobulated on the spot just because I fell in love at first sight. She let out a giggle and looked me in the eyes and replied softly "Hello." The scene must have had something to do with me falling in love with her at first sight because I couldn't look away from her and how the light reflected on her darkened eyes as if the sun shines in the dark places of people too because that's who I was. Being diagnosed with Stage 2 depression at age 15 it was hard in particular for me to love someone else because the soothing oasis of numbness had been folded over me like a bed sheet. But right now at this moment in time I felt like something inside me had suddenly just woke up. In a mortified state I asked her "What's your name?" She replied in a soft tone"Amanda." When she told me I I told her that is a nice name. Then she asked for mine. I replied with "Jack." She said she liked that name.
