Thinking about strangers

I don't know if this happens to anyone else, but sometimes I'll see a stranger and for one reason or another, they'll catch my eye. I see these people, and I wonder what they're like and I want to get to know them, but I never do.

Last night, I snuck out of my house to go to the gas station to get a snack and also just to walk because I couldn't sleep again. There was a girl huddled up on on the bench right at the corner of my street, she looked to be about my age, or maybe a little older. I noticed her simply because 2 am is kind of a strange time to see someone sitting on a bench alone but I was looking at her because I liked the way she was dressed (two things I remember was that she had a white hoodie with a design on in and her hair seemed to have bleached to almost white). I looked at her and she looked at me, and we both faintly smiled at each other. I wanted to say hi or something in that realm, but I didn't, and walked off. I came back to that corner about ten or fifteen minutes later and she was gone.

I wonder why she was huddled up on that bench, alone at 2 am

I wonder if there's some chance we'll ever run into each other again

I wonder if we'd be friends if we knew each other


IDK if anyone's gunna read this but if you do, thanks!

I feel you so bad on this. I get so caught up and entranced by strangers... I never have the guts to talk to them, and I know that I wouldn't really have anything to say or the energy to hold a conversation even if I managed to speak. I'm too shy to even look at them that well, in the case they notice me watching. I don't know what I'd say if they approached me. I'd probably get spooked or something... But in a weird way I still want to get to know more about them.

There's something so mysterious about strangers. Every now and then someone sticks out from the mass of people you pass through daily, and it makes them feel special. It's odd. But I cherish those small moments, even though I know I'll usually end up forgetting about them in a day or two
