about an exceptional person, on a not-so-exceptional night.

what attracted you to her?
it was a normal night, she was a normal person, standing on a normal street.
what singled her out? the bags she was struggling with? the tiredness in her eyes? the way she minded her own business? lived her own life?
or were you just out looking for fun?
well i'll tell you this. she didn't see it coming, not at all. and when it happened she was caught by surprise. too shocked to cry out, even. and when she'd realised what you did, she might have cried, just a tear or two.
but i'll tell you something else. you didn't win, not at all.
you didn't even touch her, not even a bit.
because if you know her as well as i do, you'd know that she'll come out of this as strong as ever, guns blazing and head held high.
she'll go back to her life, she'll move on, she'll live.
she might even do more than that.
because if you know her as well as i do, you'd know that she is, and will always be, a phenomenal woman.
