I guess you would call this flash fiction? I wrote this in my notebook the other day while I had time between classes.

There is someone for you to fall in love with on the bus. They are standing in front of you in the aisle. They are dozing off in the back row, and you think they might have missed their stop but they look too peaceful for you to wake them. They are sitting directly across from you, listening to their daughter as she reads to them from their lap. Once it is even the driver, who you notice as you are boarding and watch in the mirror for the rest of th trip. It is the one who fills the empty seat beside you, their leg warming yours through your jeans in the cold of the morning. They are not here fro you, and neither are you here for them. But for a moment you stay like that, knees crashing together as the buildings slide by you. Then they pull the cord and remove themselves from your side, and they are out the back door, leaving their seat to be filled by somebody else.

Aww, I love this. It's very cute and something I think about a lot. I would maybe categorize it as prose poetry? I tend to think of flash fiction as having more of a plot I guess, but I don't know very much about it.

this is really cool.(:

Yeah, that could be. I'm not sure, I'll continue to call it 'some thing I wrote', haha.
