You are the only exception.

Have you ever had that moment where you notice someone who’s been there the entire time? You go about your daily routine and you see them and you wonder why you’ve never seen them before. Something about that person interests you whether it be their charm, appearance or atmosphere they give off. You’ve never met this person, but you see them everyday. Once you notice this person and you are intrigued, you see them everywhere, even if you’re not trying to find them. Some days you anticipate their presence. Why? You don’t know. There’s something about that person which intrigues you and yet gives you a sense of comfort.

You spend a lot of time comtemplating whether or not you should try and start a conversation. You know you’re extremely shy when it comes to talking to strangers. You know you’d never have the guts to even approach them. But to you, its okay. Admiring from a far is what you’re best at.

All the people you pass on the street, or sit next to on the bus… what if they were to be the best thing that ever happened to you? But it never did because, like any other person, you disregarded their presence and go about your day normally. Isn’t it a strange thing? To think that the person in front of you in the line for the cashier could be the person you need in your life at that very moment. Or the person who sits behind you at a restaurant could be the person of your dreams. Someone influential and inspiring. But you would never find out. Because its not typical of a person to start talking to a stranger out of hope and desire to find a loved one or a peer. How many amazing people have you walked passed, whom you will never meet? How many loving people have you stood by waiting for the bus, whom you will never meet? How many caring people have you held the door for, whom you will never meet? A few? Hundreds? Thousands?
