173. A Tear in an Ocean

Watching a man older than herself, she wonders how she could mean anything to him who has already known so much life.

They may have shared a few moments, but those moments are drops when compared to the ocean of life he’s shared with so many others not her.

How can she be more than a passing thought, a gentle breeze; nice but leaving no mark. He’ll forget her as soon as the weather changes.

But she’ll fall; a tear into the ocean of his life.

He could catch her.

But more likely he’ll wipe her away without a thought.
