Glowing, neon lights in the middle of this rainy, wintery day. Concrete sidewalks, concrete buildings, tall and grey and I am not going in the direction I should be. I walk past you and you do not see me. I stare at you. I am frightened. Should I have stopped? Should I have said something? It is cold and you looked hungry and I wanted to hold you and tell you everything would be okay. There are holes in your jeans that you cannot fix. There are voices in your head that you cannot make disappear. You have not shaved in weeks. I look for your face when I am walking down the street and when I finally see you, I don’t know what to say. I know I should help you. I know you always need a shoulder to lean on. Through the pouring rain that blinds me, I am lost for words and lost in thought. I keep walking and when I look back, you are walking away. I stop and I hesitate. You are lost in the crowd.
