Stranger in the Subway

Ignorance

A boy started walking my way, it was someone else. He smiled at me and talked to me. He cared about me. For some reason, I wasn't interested, I only looked at you, because I thought maybe there was something more special in you. I thought that you would one day look at me, and walk towards me, but you didn't.

The boy was so nice, but after a while he had to move, he had to get on with life, work, things making him busy, and the moment I realized he mattered, that was the exact moment he had to go.
In the little time I have known him, he made an impact on me. I saw him walk away, he kept going, farther, and farther, and farther, until he was out of my sight completely. And I felt horrible, because I ignored someone that cared so much about me. Instead of being focused on him, I focused on you who was far and out of my reach.

I lost something that could have been so important to me.
