Have You Ever.......

[ChromeCrow]

Have you ever looked over someone who you don't know? Have you ever gotten the sense that there is "something" to them, something that has happened to them, that most strangers to them could never see. But you can see it. I can see it. And I will watch them until I can't. I am a stranger to them, and any conversations we might have are short, a few words, and it is normally their friends who strike them up first. In a way, I wish to be a friend too, but I'm satisfied being the stranger, but I will continue to watch over them while I can. And they will never know how much I care, and I'm fine with that.

(Can anyone relate to this feeling?)

I not have friend. Sometime when children unkind me I see other watch at distance but never intervene and never approach later. I not know what other believe. Maybe feel same as unkind children or maybe not. I never know how other feel about me. I hide in hoodie keep eye at ground. I try keep from other but unkind children always find me.

I know what you mean. There've been certain people throughout my life who I may not have spoken more than a sentence to, but I still have a large interest in them, just because, as you say, there is 'something' about them. Take this guy who's goes to my college. I've only spoken to him fully once or twice, but I can't help taking notice of him; he's lonely, sits 'on the edge' of groups at lunch, but his general demeanour and attitude when I did speak to him suggests there's so much more beneath his shell.

YES I know exactly what you mean. There are lots of people at my school that I'm not friends with and probably never will be but I still give them a lot of attention and care about them. I think it's probably normal. Who knows, you might be that person for somebody else.

yeah. i was like that with my team leader at a political class a few months ago. i was like 'huh, she's kind of odd, but in a good way'. you feel me? 80% of my friends are like that, actually.
