It was late October.

I never expected to see him again.

He sat in the back dressed in a white tee shirt, black jeans and some worn out boots, he sat there reading "On the Road" by J. Kerouac.

There was a simplistic beauty about the way he held his hair out of his face and focused on his book.

My shift was almost over yet he never ordered a single thing. 

He just sat there, reading.

It wasn't until a pint-sized, crude white haired old lady yelled at me did he notice me looking in his direction.

As soon as I gave this boorish lady her order, I looked up to see him gone.

The dreams returned.
