Seeing her smile in a stranger's face
In a black hoodie on a misty dawn forest path, knees drawn up, he sits with the echo of seeing her smile in a stranger's face.
He sits with his knees drawn up and his arms wrapped around his legs on a misty forest path, wet leaves and post-rain puddles around him, pale dawn light filtering through the fog. He wears a black oversized hoodie and dark jeans, tousled hair still damp, and his gaze is fixed somewhere past the trees. He has just seen her smile in a stranger's face at a crowded autumn mela — not her, of course, never her, but the same lift at the corner of the mouth, the same way of smiling with the eyes first — and the whole forest has gone quiet around him.
Serene, because the shock has passed
The first time it happens, it knocks the wind out of you. The tenth time, it is something else: a small, serene recognition that love does not leave a person cleanly. It leaves echoes, and echoes live in other faces, in other crowds, in other autumns. He is not chasing the stranger. He is not even unhappy, exactly. He is sitting on a wet path in the dawn, holding the echo gently, the way you hold something that once belonged to you and now belongs to the world.
What could have been is still there, in the fog between the trees. But so is what is: a man, a morning, a path that goes on whether or not he walks it. And today, he is walking it.
