When Broken Paths Meet
Two people cross paths when they need someone most
Both walking to a dark bridge with moss and vines over it with a beautiful stream underneath
They both arrive at this bridge at the same time forced to wait for the other to leave, not long after one of them speaks asking if the others okay
She replies no, while bursting into tears
They don’t end it that night instead they walk to the man’s apartment, normally the girl wouldn’t go to a strangers place but what does she have to lose?
when they arrive they talk for hours, they realize they have a lot in common; a broken family, no job, no one to rely on
Atleast until now, they still barley know each other; but neither can be alone and this way, they can be lonely together
