a mess for words

You haven't personally met her, but like Ariel from The Little Mermaid, she has both red hair and the most beautiful singing voice you have ever heard. It's likely that she knows this and maybe it the reason why she sings while she walks around the office all day, every day. But everytime she does walk by, you always find yourself giggling at her.

To you, this makes her seem a little crazy, and you can't help but wonder if you're the only one in the office who thinks so.

You were impatiently waiting for the train to come as you did every Thursday morning that semester. You were having a pretty miserable week being that you and Alex had just broken up and the last thing you wanted was for some guy to come up to you and try talk to you.

But this boy didn't know that and out of the corner of your eye, you caught him looking at you. You weren't sure, but you had a feeling as you almost always do whenever a guy is about to come up to you and two seconds later, that's exactly what he did. But he didn't exactly "come up" to you, it was more that sidled his way next to you and made it seem like that was his usual spot to wait for the train and it just happened to have been right next to you.

He looked nervous and most likely younger than you. And like any normal person, you should have just walked a few feet away, but you decided to stay because as much as it was the last thing you wanted to deal with, he looked harmless enough. You don't really remember how he finally approached you, or what he approached you with -- whether he asked your name, or how old you were or where you were coming from. You just remember feeling flattered by the situation and found him just to be overall endearing and not threatening at all. The conversation didn't last too long -- in fact, it ended very abruptly by the loud noise of the train rushing in. The only information he did manage to get from you was just your name and where you were going. And normally you would have lied about both, but because he was trying so hard in the first place, you only felt like you owed him the truth.

And although it was such a short, brief moment -- it was sweet and you will always remember it because of the way you were feeling at the time. Little did he know, from that one minute of a conversation, he gave you the small ounce of hope you needed to realize there would always be other guys (other than your ex).

You wonder a bit now what had happened to the kid, but you hope that he eventually found someone of his own, like you hoped you would one day again at that point in your life.

The train ride to work is always a long one, but when this little girl walked in, you were instantly awakened. There she was in her little winter jacket with the fur trim and dangling hood balls hanging from the sides of her face. She looked like a little eskimo. And what killed you most was that she had little zebra mittens on! With the mouth part as the inner part of her hand and a little mohawk of hair on the top of her hand. She was the cutest little girl you had ever seen and you couldn't stop watching her while she chatted with her dad. She kept asking him what the emergency pictures on the train meant, and after he would explain it to her, she would just ask "why?" but not in annoying way, but in a way that made you want to kiss her, hug her and love her. She was just that cute.

For a day where the last thing you wanted to do when you woke up was go to work, she ended up making your day just a little better -- even if it was just for a little while.
