I still watch her, I can't help it. She is the queen of this place, a pure and innocent creature, out of place among the trash that surrounds her. She never looks my way, she has no reason to. There is no reason that my presence would even register with her but I live in hope. Hope that one day she will look my way and give me that smile she reserves for her closest friends, the one that lets you know you are part of her intimate circle and you are welcome to be near her. Until then I live in hope and curse myself for a fool but she is my queen and I am her fool whether she knows it or not.
