sometimes someone comes to your life unexpectedly. a man on loose shirt. so ordinary. unwashed face. you are on the same boat. and he sits on a bench looking at the horizon. your eyes meet. and he smiles. you smile too.

it is the beginning. you tell your name because he asks for it. Then the boat arrives at your destination. you take your bag. he takes his. everyone disembarks. You too. then he is gone. You look forward to seeing him again. There is something in his eyes that tells you that this is just the beginning. you wait.
