each day I will pass a new face
maybe learn a new name
or meet a new friend.

everyday I will walk by a foe
then I will walk by a kind soul
but I never know the difference.

everyday, my eyes connect with strangers
a small acknowledgment,
a small nod.

yet no matter how many faces that pass by mine
no matter how many people that brush against my hand
no matter how many strands of hair fall softly, all around me

I will pass by all these different eyes, but I'll only ever get lost in yours
