I ran into a stranger today.

But then I stopped and looked again.
Her face seemed familiar to me. I knew her, I remember.

It was June 2011 she was the transfer student. I don't know why for some reason that stranger smiled at me. Well that smile was like an arrow that hit me.
We were high schoolers, and I never allowed any distraction to deviate. But her smile came to me like a positivity. It was like I needed to see her smile so my day goes by.
I never said Hi, she greeted me first. I felt so coward and worst. We talked less and studied more. But all of sudden she was gone forever. I got to know she had transferred. she never left a number, she never left a trace. I wonder why she left suddenly this way!
I did hope she'll come back around. But even after we matriculated she was never to be found.
It's been a long time. I tried looking for her. But she wasn't on Facebook or instagram either.
I persuaded her neighbor and I got her number too. I did call, but she never received.
All these years passed but I still remember her.
I was about to leave the place, until I heard someone calling my name. I turned back and I saw her, Turns out she never forgot me either. We said hello, we talked a while. I was happy to meet her after all this time.
