Standing in the middle of the road,
I was the ghost.
Who no one saw,
Who went unnoticed,
Time passed by me but nothing changed.
Although the moon and stars appeared closer,
I fly upto the moon with my cold, boneless structure.
It all felt so beautiful from up there,
I look down at the people I once knew some in love, some handling their chaotic life.
But I was so far away from the chaos where people kill people and humanity dies.
It felt peaceful for a while,
But soon I realized I had to spend eternity alone.
Because not everyone is Casper.
I traveled the ends of the world trying to figure out what my unfinished business could be.
Because all my life I’ve heard that ghosts are people with unfinished business on earth.
So I must have one right?
Wandering around I saw a woman with a broken heart and a man that cared too much.
Both drowning in their misery,
I wanted to do good, I wanted to help them.
So I did.
I made up strategies in my head of how I could make them find a way into each other’s heart.
That’s when I saw them sitting in a coffee shop,
She, sitting by the window, nose burried in a book trying to escape the harsh reality of life in the depths  of a novel.
He, sitting in a corner, trying to ignore the ache by drowning himself in work.
It felt like this could be it,
They could finally get what they deserved.
But he got up to leave,
A fortunate accident, he tripped on the bag kept by a table near the exit.
Her bag,
She crouched down to help him up and apologize.
That’s when he looked into her eyes,
Smiled and said it’s alright.
They got to talking,
That’s when I saw the white light.
Who would’ve known my unfinished business had been fulfilled.
I saw someone fall in love and I was complete.
