Autumn

She sits down on the steps. Blue jeans, white collar shirt. She feels simple today.

It's one of those days when the air is crisp. The breeze is chilling, and yet, the sun still manages to reach your face and give you that exact amount of warmth.

She rests her elbows on her knees and holds up her coffee to her lips. She feels calm today.

Around her there are people conversing.. chatting, debating, flirting, gossiping. It's all a murmur to her. She hears a word here and there, a laugh, a scream. She watches friends run into each other. Stop. Have a short conversation. Your usual small talk. Have a nice weekend! On their way they go. Or they stay. Get a hug. Lean on a shoulder. Actually stop. And stay. Everything seems to be quieter today.

She breathes in the fresh air. Smells cleaner today.

It's autumn. Thanksgiving weekend. Enjoy.
