A blur. That is what life is. A fast-paced, emotional high that could change in an instant. The unexpected blocks the path you take. The bad became worse and the good become better.

A man sits on a bench, his eyes wandering around. A young woman caught his eye, recognition flashed in his eyes. The one who forgot, is what some would say. The innocence is captured by the features of her face, her ignorance would be envied by those who experienced more than they could endure.

She turns and stares at the trees of fall. The leaves slowly release the branches and descend like the snow of winter. A sigh of exhaustion escapes her. Her eyes plead to the skies to return what was stolen from her.
