The stranger I spoke to

It was a rainy day,
Skies opened their arms to envelope earth with lush greenery,
I walked with my friends to the bus,
Signalling them jokes,
We never spoke,
We couldn't,
My hands moved with the speed of lightning,
And my friends laughed,
A girl walked in,
she studied our exchange with interest,
Not with pity,
Not with melancholy,
Her eyes on my hands,
I slowed down my movements for her,
She looked at my eyes,
There was awe in hers,
Beautiful language,
She signalled with extreme self-consciousness,
I smiled,
That's what I could do..


This one's on real incident that happened to me last week.. trust me I realised how important it is to check what comes out of our mouths.. those people they were so happy.. I realised I don't really make use of my ability to speak properly.. half the times I end up hurting people...
