You could sit in the coffee shop for days, watching people roll past like a time-lapse video. You could make eye contact with every person that came in. You could smile.
“Hi, Nice day isn-“
“Fuck off creep.”
Or simply.
“I see you went the blueberry muffin today.”
-Puts headphones in and pretends not to hear you-
But no matter how long you sat there; no one would ever offer you himself or herself. They would not be genuine with you.
I feel lost inside myself.
