Seeking Silence

When was the last time you sat in a coffee shop by yourself, listening to the same quiet song over and over again? Quality time with a cup of strong americano and your thoughts, nothing else. With strenuous things happening all day every stupid day, I don't get to do that too often anymore.

My notepad and a nice pen in front of me, I mentally follow the tune that I've heard a thousand times before. It's funny, now that I think about it. It's a song that doesn't get old. I look out the window and enjoy the silence that my earphones provide me with. Sometimes that's all I'm looking for. 

Again, I smile. At the thought that there were times when I felt so alone in this city that I went out in the middle of a sleepless night, to be amongst strangers, or to make sure I wasn't the last person on earth. Well, those times are gone. Now I seek out the quiet moments and enjoy them. Alone.
