Conversations

You look at people, the way they walk , smile, how their eyebrows are different, the way their eyes widen when you say something that spark their minds, something new maybe? Or something that touched their hearts perhaps, or a mere reflection of the gradual change in the image they first formed of the impression they have made of you during the very first 5 seconds of crossing each other's path..
Did you ever look at the person in front of you and took a second to think of them internally.. Like how their hearts are beating in this very second, the way their lungs are expanding and their chests are rising to take in the air that was once between the both of you, a part of the atmosphere that was once touching you..
Did you ever consider perhaps how they are insecurely thinking about their crooked tooth or the fact that they accidentally spilled coffee on their blouse and that you might notice it or maybe a thought of an instinct..
Did they see something in you or the background that triggered the dream they saw last night and put the missing puzzles together or are they worried they are not good enough to reach their dreams while they swallow. What about, when was the last time that person felt something, felt it passionately and genuinely, when did they last cry or even better cry out of happiness.. Are they happy waking up to what they get up for? Did they lose a friend, are their parents proud? What is the cause living in their hearts.
When was the last time they did something for the first time? Perhaps they are out of their comfort zone.
Perhaps today was the first day they decided to dress up and show up..and maybe, just perhaps they are looking at you wondering what's going on inside your head as well.
