bandstand
06:30 pmIts been a while since I was last here. After the din in my head settles down, I start to hear less of the chatter around me, and more of the sound of the waves. The familiar melange of smells wafts in the air - the corn, the groundnuts, and the salty sea. I turn my head to see if you're twitching your nose.
After dark, the crowd dwindles and a peaceful quietude takes over. At ease now, I notice the gentle breeze; it ruffles my hair as your fingers would have. I begin to reacquaint myself with the things around that never quite seem to change, and yet, they seem a little different this time. Perhaps it is the passage of time, or perhaps,
your absence.
