simply fall in love.

"I fall in love regularly,

with each person whom

passes me in the streets,

or who sits beside me on the bus.

Not in the romantic way;

No, we hardly even speak a word to each other. 

But I sit, quietly observing

all of their body language and

all of their expressions.

Their smiles, and gestures;

the way they lift their coffee, 

or smile as they read that new text message,

or count the change in their hands. 

I watch vigilantly, tracking the

manners and movements,

appreciating all that these

people are.

I spend some time thinking about 

their families and lives,

and the life they lead. 

I consider what they do for work,

and what they went to school for.

When they woke up that morning,

and when they did their hair. 

I study the details of

these people, that they may

otherwise go unnoticed.

Researching each of them,

noting our similarities, and

rejoicing in the beauty of

human nature.

I simply fall in love."
