it
dawned
a
new
day
today
but
something
was
different
i
didn't
call
my
friends
chat
and
say
hi
i
didn't
see
them
in
passing
to
wave
at
or
shout
out
i
talked
to
someone
i'd
never
had
before
a
stranger
with
a
name
;
his
eyes
full
of
smiles
.
i
threw
myself
into
work
flipping
the
endless
pages
alone
and
unnoticed
just
another
face
a
tiny
speck
on
the
grass
keeping
my
own
thoughts
to
hoard
and
pick
at
discarding
memories
writing
notes
recalling
certain
incidents
so
as
to
tell
my
friends
...
later
.
well
,
so
far
nothing
new
...
But
It
Was
.
Today
i
didn't
mind
so
much
that
no
one
knew
my
past
my
story
my
life
that
no
one
knew
i
loved
cats
or
hated
onions
and
had
a
penchant
for
blue
eyes
instead
i
looked
forward
to
meeting
these
people
learning
their
secrets
and
telling
them
mine
suddenly
,
the
whole
world
looked
brighter
Even
with
the
rain
.
and
though
its
far
from
perfect
happiness
i
do
believe
i
will
survive
