Walk On By

Well, what you've been dreading has finally come to pass, you're out and about. Then suddenly you spot them out the corner of your eye, that person who you'll never be prepared to see, the one who stops you dead in your tracks. Makes your heartbeat a little faster and your palms sweat. So now that they're approaching you, what do you do? Do you speak or do you act as if you've never meet or knew this person? The choice is yours, so what do you do?

But let's back up a minute and figure out why this person invokes such a strong and unnerving reaction. Maybe they broke your heart or maybe you broke theirs. Then again maybe you broke each others hearts. Now there's also the possibility of, there's unfinished business between the two of you. Meaning that there was no official end to the two of you. Its almost as if there was a movie being played and before the movie ended, its as if someone just pushed paused so you never got to the end of the movie. You just got cut off and that's one of the worst feelings because you'll never know the ending. You are left wondering what was and what could've been, and that sucks.

So back to the question at hand what do you do, when you see that person out in the streets? I can tell you what I did, I just kept it moving. He saw me and I saw him and I walked pasted him like he was a ghost. Why? For one I was just taken off guard that he was at the same place I was and walking pass him seemed easier than acknowledging him. Secondly there was no words left to say. They were already said in a clear and somewhat unclear matter and sometimes things are really better left unsaid for what ever reason. So the only thing left to do was to just walk on by.
