fall, fall, fall.

Today i sat on a bench for hours.

It was about 6 pm and the air was cold, not too cold, just enough for my skin to react. I looked at people around me and they were all walking so fast, everything was going so slow for me.
The sky was blue and the trees were turning orange. And it was as if i was just discovering the world for the first time. Nothing mattered, nothing controlled me, nothing owned me. I was just a girl sitting on a bench. Just a body. My mind was far gone. All i could experience was this feeling. It reminded me how i felt the last few nights before christmas, in France, when i was still a little girl. I remember walking in the streets, holding my father's hand, looking at people's faces while they were buying presents, and i knew something amazing was about to happen. I was fascinated. I remember the cold air on my face. I remember knowing things were going to be good, because everything felt right, right at that moment.
