Blank Space

That Tuesday night before the first month of the year ends, blasts a birthday party that did not prepare me for what I was about to see — a smart-looking guy in his blue long sleeves, whose transparent glasses awes a sharp look, and deep shaped eyes that scream mystery. I totally forgot the subject of the night, the star of that day — the celebrant, who already lives at the back of my mind as I was distracted by an unfamiliar picturesque view.

As I marched towards the table, my eyes gazed at a lad who was confidently sitting at the corner. In my mind, singing Taylor Swift's Blank Space track, “saw you there and I thought, oh my God, look at that face! You look like, my next mistake..”

Was my next mistake indeed.
