Vanished

When I saw her again, I didn’t recognize her at first. “Is she the girl that I used to search for in the train everyday for the past few years?” I was confused as first.

She had changed a lot. Her life must be tough and miserable for these few years after I left London. Although anyone on earth would change as time goes by, but somehow she just looked too different. Her rosy cheeks had gone; her thick blonde hair was no longer there; her slim and shapely figure was gone. The pretty, cheerful and confident girl who always appeared in my mind for the past few years had disappeared. She wasn’t attractive anymore. Standing before me was a clumsy, haggard and fat woman that seemed strange to me. However, I knew it's her. From her same blue eyes and her same rose-bud mouth.

As she walked pass me, she gazed upon me for few seconds and I smiled to her, hoping her to give me the same friendly smile. Instead, a weird and eerie expression appeared on her face.

“She couldn’t recognize me?” I wondered.

“Or she didn’t even notice me at all for the past few years when we were taking the same tube every morning.”

We hadn’t known each other; hadn’t been introduced, that was true. We were just taking the same tube everyday for the past few years when I was working in London. I had been a stranger to her for the past few years- and even then. It was only me alone admiring her and was looking forward to seeing her every morning in the tube. It was only me……

When I pulled myself back from thinking, she had gone. As like five years ago, she was out of my sight swiftly but this time, my prospect for her had vanished.
