The crowds rush by oblivious but he sits there strumming his prized position.
He has emerald green eyes the peer at every passer, he looks like a 70s hippy but is very intriguing, he’s gorgeous, the shaggy unpolished gorgeous.
He has wavy shoulder length dirty blond hair, and a five o’clock shadow beard.
He sits wearing wore down jeans and a dirty white t-shirt.

As Katherine walks her daily routine down Fifth Avenue she actually stops to hear the same homeless man she passes everyday.
She looks in her wallet and throws in a twenty, because she only carries big bills.
The guitar man stops looks up into Katherine’s sky blue eyes and becomes speechless.
It was the woman he has always admires and secretly loved.
