Amazing

July 3rd, 2014, 8am

​ I was walking to work when I saw a guy sitting on the doorsteps of a building. As I got closer I saw another guy. But when I reached him I noticed it was a mirrored wall and there was only one guy. He looked sad or just tired. It was 8:45 in the morning. I briefly thought that he was good looking and kept walking.

Then I saw a girl on the other side of the wall, sitting on the steps too. She also looked sad and tired. I turned around and the other wall was mirrored too. And as I passed by, it was kind of beautiful.

How two strangers could be sitting two feet away and not know the other’s presence. It was like a missed connection. Maybe if the wall separating them was glass, they would’ve seen each other and it’d be love at first sight. I wanted to take a picture. But on the other hand they could’ve been talking about taking a break or even breaking up. Ah. The amazing things that happen when you go outside.
