Unfinished Business

She’s been alone in this large field of rye watching these little kids play. I noticed her smile as she bluntly stares at these happy souls jumping and running around the field. Then I realized that something is not right. She seemed happy but her shimmering almond shaped eye told me another tale. There is just something about her that I would want to discover and understand.

It took a while before I finally approached her and asked what’s bothering her. She smiled back instead and left me without uttering a single word. I wanted to follow her but I don’t know her name. And from a distant I watched over her as she slowly walked along the field savoring every opportunity to be with the kids whom she cherished the most.

Since then, I never saw her again. Out in the field she disappeared in an instant. I wanted to know her. I wanted to be with her but time was not on our side that’s what I wanted to believe in. So every time I see little kids play, I can’t help but remember this lovely lady who once entered my life but was not really there after all.
