Stranger at the Stop Sign

When you walked into my life, it was the first time I opened my eyes.

Doves were released into the pale sky. Crackers were popped and rice was thrown. People cheered and balloons flew high. The flowers were beautiful and the grass was green again.

But you kept on walking.
I see you nightly in my dreams, and think of how that one moment changed me infinitely.

Funny how even a stranger can leave such a deep impact on my life.
