Silence, The Loudest Sound
Sigh.
I slumped from my piano bench and skimmed the ivory keys back and forth. I was running out of ideas, not to mention, time. I had to compose a piece for the winter recital, or it’s goodbye career for me.
I sighed again and ran my hand on already messy hair and looked up at the ceiling. It’s only been a month since I moved here in New York from Chicago. Time flies so fast.
Feeling the futility of my attempts today I drew the red velvet curtains and peeked outside my window. It was late afternoon and the sun was setting soon. Though it was fall for a while now, I still had an aversion to the season. I had a great view of Central Park though. Maybe I should go out for a walk…
Yeah, I need a break. So I changed from my sweatshirt into a grey turtleneck and black pants and a black sweater.
While I was enjoying my walk, my lack of sleep and nutrition from working on my piece finally caught up to me that I was looking for benches to rest on in no time. I need caffeine.
I could’ve just sat on the ground but for some reason, I had to sit on a bench. So I searched for one but couples occupied every seat nonetheless…
Sigh.
Music has always been the only love of my life and I’m not kidding. It’s not that I haven’t the opportunity to get into relationships; it’s just that things kept coming up…. And… I don’t know, I guess I don’t want relationships; I want a relationship, the relationship. One that would last. One that’s real. That’s why I’m twenty-one and still single.
Oh, there’s an empty seat! I think the person is leaving as she’s just getting her bag or something of that sort. When I approached the bench, I realized the woman wasn’t retrieving her bag to leave but dropped something. I couldn’t see her face as half of it got wrapped in her scarf and her long brown wavy hair covered it as well. I watched as she positioned herself bringing her knees up then place a small notebook… no, sketchpad on her lap then proceeded to sketch. I realized that I was just staring and standing there and I mentally slapped myself. How rude of me.
