What's your story?

There has been a question killing me every time I look at a face, eyes which glare with passion, lips which speak pain. This face comes in forms of a hungry little boy,a glance of a pretty girl,a smile lingering on a boy's face on a lonely road. :What's Your Story?:
What is their story,how different is their life from mine,is their pain similar to mine and their happiness? Do I experience the same magnitude of happiness and love as they do? But I'm making peace with the fact that I can never know their stories even if their faces flash in my head when I close my eyes every night. So, I decided that in the world of my thoughts,I'd save instances from these stories. Maybe one day I'd make head or tail out of it. Maybe one day, I would actually understand what people actually mean and how they cross each others path and maybe one day, I would understand their stories. The stories that they'll never tell me. Here is one such instance, that my head will grow used to.

I took tired steps down the sheltered pathway and this couple grabbed my attention. In the middle of the road, they stood in each others' arms. I could tell when the broke away,that it was a tough separation. I walked closer to them, and they looked back at each other. She turned,he turned and they looked at each other at once. There was this moment I believed in love and destiny,like you can actually feel the presence of the person around you,like you can hold on to loads of memories and then judge a pattern and get used to it,like getting used to each other and their habits. I walked ahead and the girl brushed past against me. She looked me in the eye,her eyes swollen and her face red with emotion. I could instantly feel her vibe of sorrow,but she could only feel my stare. A stare which might have seemed judgy. I tried following the boy,he walked with hands in his pockets,turned back a few more times but she was gone,briskly waded through other couples and then disappeared into the crowd. He faded and their story in my head lingered for long. I didn't know why they were separated,I didn't know what was bothering them, I didn't even know how the boy felt about the separation,but the atmosphere was filled with heartbroken-feels and I could see it seep inside me.



Imagination can do magic,magic that never existed. I might be over-thinking the whole thing,but I don't understand what I shouldn't Imagination is truly something I would love to depend on,when I'm getting old and boring. So yeah,there was separation. Looks can be deceiving, but what the heart sees is greater than anything else.
