for a second, I thought I could see myself inside it
Added 2025-10-19 10:15:48 +0000 UTCI spent the afternoon by the window.
The city looked different from up here — slower, softer, almost kind.
It was one of those gray days when everything feels cinematic without trying.
He took a few photos.
We didn’t talk much — maybe that’s why it worked.
There was no story, no plan. Just light, distance, and the sound of traffic below.
I remember feeling both seen and far away at the same time.
Maybe that’s what New York does —
keeps you close enough to feel alive,
but never lets you belong completely.
Later, I watched the sun hit the glass of the opposite building.
It looked like someone had turned the city into a mirror.
For a second, I thought I could see myself inside it —
a small figure, waiting for something that doesn’t need to happen.
