love does not discriminate..

last friday - i saw one of the most beautiful moments of my life.

on my way out to grand central on the train, i sat across from a couple who looked as though they may have been living on the streets. the woman was grotesquely obese, with scabs all over her face and body, and missing teeth. the guy was sickeningly anorexic, with a gray ash tone in his skin, also with missing teeth, carrying a filled black garbage bag.

when i got onto the train at 86th street, they were holding hands, speaking quietly to each other and smiling at one another. as we approached 59th street station, they kissed each other goodbye softly on the lips as the woman stood up to get off the train. the guy watched her walk off the train, then quickly swung around to watch her through the window. when she reached the staircase on the platform, she turned around and they waved goodbye to each other again. he then turned around, looked at the floor and sighed.

it was truly one of the most beautiful things i've seen in my life. and it reminded me of how jordan and i once were. and for the first time in a long time - i really missed it.
