A Girl Standing Alone

There was a girl standing alone.
The pavement glowed around her, angelic light from a past rain.
She was waiting, no one knows what for.
Some tried to guess as they walked by, theories of some life she must live.
But they were all wrong, her secret was hers alone.
A light breeze caused her hair to dance around her face.
All the while, she looked ahead, off into the distance.
Perhaps she was engrossed in some fantasy, maybe she was living one.
This girl was a curious mystery, no one was satisfied.
She did not acknowledge the probing glances, the floating whispers.
Suddenly, she walks away.
The pavement still glowed, but with the haunting absence of the girl.

The girl who stood alone.
