inkling

twenty one

don't worry if upon meeting me

you worry about becoming attached.

i am easily forgotten.

don't worry, i assure you, i will not make a dent in your thoughts

my face but a fleeting impression on your mind,

leaving no room for any memories of painfully awkward conversations.

there will be many, i promise you that. 

i am a star among millions, shining no brighter than the next. 

don't worry, my personality has no defining aspects, my mind a messy jumble of thoughts too tangled to pin down,

to be remembered by strangers like you.

i am afraid, as you may have gathered, that i am quite insignificant.

if you were listening at all, that is.
