Today I rode the bus.
It was pretty packed so I had to ask a girl if I could sit next to her.
She said yes in a kind way.
As the bus began to drive, I realized this girl was getting as close as she can to the window.
As if she didn't want to be me touched by me.
She was fragile.
But her eyes were kind.
She read her book and hummed to the music playing over us.
She reminded me of me.
