Celestial Countenance

I just realised that there are some faces that make you instantly happy. Unknown faces, never seen before, never to be seen after. Faces that won't stick in your mind, faces that won't leave a memory. Faces that won't make the cover page of the Time magazine or something like that.

I just happened to smile when I saw this girl in the crowd. Fine, everyone's been there. But in a crowd of a concert video I happened to be seeing. Nothing special, nothing specific. Not someone I'd call beautiful, but somehow, enchanting. I pressed rewind, and I was unable to make out anything different, anything special about her. I even don't know why I am writing this.

And then, there are faces that I long to see. I pine. I daydream. I lose myself.

Completely.

They know who they are.
