A chance look in your direction
An infinite second
As your eyes meet mine
On the street, the bus, the stairs
A slight smile?
Almost unnoticeable
In the brief lifetime
That we spend here, together
Your hair,
Blonde, brown, gray,
Your eyes,
Blue, brown, green
My heartbeat becomes irrational
I feel as if
I have entered an exam
For a subject I did not study
I am being tested on something
That I will never know
I see our life before us
A look, a smile, a word,
Years of love and happiness
Born from this single second of unity.
I know I will never know you
But, despite the concentrated heartbreak,
I know that I could never love you
As much as I have in this single second.
You’re gone now, but
You were never really here.
Despite this,
Without even knowing it
You made my world
Forever brighter.

Desire Paths and the Rise of Individualism
In my city, as I'm sure there are in yours, there is a handful of parks. At a glance, they offer a small escape from the grey of the city to the green of nature, the effects of which have been proven to be extremely beneficial to our mental and physical health. However, when you look more closely, there is much more to these green spaces than simply trees, flowers, and grass.
