ik-arzu:

Have you ever noticed someone in a public place but you weren’t sure why you noticed them?

There’s nothing wild about them; no funky hair colour, no cultural clothing, no big scars. They’re just there.

It may only last for a few seconds, this strange attraction to them. For these few seconds, you can’t help but look at them blankly.

Then, life goes on.

But what if you run into them again? Whether it’s the same day or the same decade, those few seconds will come back instantly, but this time, you’ll know why you’re noticing them. And then that leaves room for some thoughts. What are they doing here? Why are they alone? What’s that look in their eyes? 

Life will go on again. Unless they noticed you again too.
