Day 26: Someone I Wish I Knew

She was sitting 

on the ledge of 

a fading house, 

so vibrantly coloured 

next to the 

peeling paint:

red hair 

yellow dress 

purple sneakers. 

I sat in the park 

across from her, 

watching 

her head bowed as 

she scribbled in her

notebook,

and as I walked past her 

towards home, 

I glanced and saw
her drawing of a girl

looked somewhat 

like me.
