Wonder

She sat staring out at the people walking briskly through the park.
The sun was out, the air was cold but she still sat.
All her life she felt alone, like no one ever really truly understood her.
Then he came into her life and all that changed.
She could not put her finger on what connected them but it was good and right.
As time went and they got to know one another she noticed the way he watched her.
He followed her movements, almost like he was drinking her into his memory for that day when they would go their separate ways.
She watched others fall into these wild romances where the souls could care less what road they traveled. As long as they were together they made it.
She never had that. She was more like a fixture. Someone who was just there cause it had always been that way.
To her right a bird settled on the wall beside her and it cocked its head at her.
A robin. She smiled sadly at the little bird and whispered.

"I wonder what it's like to have someone fall for you. And I mean really fall for you. Not just they want to get in your pants because they think you're attractive. But be consumed with every little piece of you The way you talk, the way you laugh, the way you just exist."

The robin stared at her a moment then flew off up into the trees.
A soft sigh escaped her and she turned her attention to the people in the park again.
She sat alone as usual.
