For some reason, my brain refuses to let that day in January go.

It was wet outside; I was cold. 

I was running down West st at 5mph, when my eyes locked in on you 

because you were the only other

person there, an unknown face, running towards me at 4mph.

You looked up at a sign, and accidentally 

locked eyes with me. A cold stare, maybe, maybe not. 

I don’t remember what the sign said;

As it often does when in a peaceful 

environment, time slowed down.

Because we were the only ones there it was pretty awkward, and I looked 

Back down as any sensible human would do.

However, I noticed a loose string on your hat: It was green; that was all. So I

just happened to turn my head to look 

back at you. Then I noticed you were looking back at me probably because I was the 

only other person there.

Statistically speaking, the odds that I ever see you again are less than

one in a million so there is no point in ever thinking about 

You again.

If our paths cross again I probably won’t recognize you.
