It wasn’t a selfish kind of love and It didn’t last more than a few minutes. 

It was many years ago but I remember it vividly.

I was in the passengers seat of my friends’ vehicle while she were driving to some unknown place. The details of this time are still hazy. We were listening to whatever mixed CD I made for our spontaneous trips, getting high. Typical.

I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. 

It wasn’t just the way I looked but who I was in that moment. I fell in love. It wasn’t vain but the purest of love I would ever endure. Genuine.

And it only existed for that short time.
