She’s never really noticed.
She sits, and she’s invisible.
People pass, but no one really sees her.
Wherever she goes,
it’s the same.
She’s used to the silence,
used to being the background,
the empty chair,
the forgotten space.
But then one day,
someone notices.
Her seat is empty,
and he feels it.
He sees her studying in the lounge.
He asks,
“Where were you yesterday?”
And those words
so small,
so simple
meant everything.
She was noticed.
She mattered.
He noticed her.
And for the first time,
her heart stirred
not just because she was seen,
but because it was him.

She’s never really noticed.
She sits, and she’s invisible.
People pass, but no one really sees her.
Wherever she goes,
it’s the same.
She’s used to the silence,
used to being the background,
the empty chair,
the forgotten space.
But then one day,
someone notices.
Her seat is empty,
and he feels it.
He sees her studying in the lounge.
He asks,
“Where were you yesterday?”
And those words
so small,
so simple
meant everything.
She was noticed.
She mattered.
He noticed her.
And for the first time,
her heart stirred
not just because she was seen,
but because it was him.
