Stranger in the Subway

Begin Again

As I turned away. I realized it was around 5 in the morning when the sun peaked in from above this crowded place. I paused for a moment just to listen to the sound of people's footsteps. I breathed in all the mixed up air, gathering myself up. Getting myself ready for another adventure.

It surprised me that I have never actually noticed all these little things before, that I have never been aware of my surroundings.
I smiled, as I looked around at people, going on and about at their business, doing their jobs, working with life. I appreciated it all.

I looked around, with a smile, and at the corner of my eye, I saw someone looking at me. He was still, and he was smiling at me. The moment I looked at him, he looked away.
He was blurry, and pretty far, but the moment I saw him, I decided right then and there what I would do. I started walking towards him. I started walking, I started moving, I started looking towards him.

I felt the wind flow through my hair as the the train rushed pass me again. My thoughts were clear, and my mind set on what I wanted to do. Everything was still moving, everyone was still going where they had to be, but in this little, but crowded subway, a girl had finally begun to move again.
