I've drifted through life like a forgotten seed, blowing in the wind. I never find a resting place. Never settle down. Never grow roots. I just drift, in the cold embrace of nothingness, watching the world around me grow and thrive, while I just exist. Numb. Unbothered. Emotionless. I've been that way since I was a child. My mother always feared I'd end up a mass murderer, but even killers feel something. Be it greed, or anger, or morbid curiosity. But not me. No, I just Exist. Until you. It was a normal day, a numb void of passing faces I'll never care to get to know. A sea of people on a sidewalk. It was something so small, just a brush of my hand against yours, and I felt it. Something other than nothing. So sudden, so consuming. I thought I was dying, to be honest. I hit my knees on that sidewalk. I couldn't truly tell what it was, it passed so quickly. I never meant to start following you. It's just something that happened, like most things in my life. I just want to be near you. To experience the world like everyone else does. To figure out what feeling belongs to which emotion.
