cold and wet

it was a cold, rainy afternoon and the car is stuck in traffic.

Thank You to Augusta for the picture. :)

for quite some time, i never had enough time to make my mind wander. the car was not able to move in the past 10 minutes. i divert my attention to the scene outside.

it was raining but there were many people in the restaurant. they were happily eating and must be waiting for the rush hour to pass.

outside the restaurant, there was a couple - bodies touching, hands held and under an umbrella. it must be good, i thought, to have someone by your side in a cold and rainy day like this. it must have felt warm to know that there was someone out there willing to hold your hand. it must have been fulfilling to be able to care for somebody.

then, a passing car splashed water all around. and, as quickly as the rain dries when the sun reveals itself, the thought of a couple standing under the rain was gone.

and, yet, another daydream. another story. another reflection.
