it was a cold day
just like any other
but if you stared at the sky
you would feel that it was different
the wind was still sad
the sun was still hidden behind clouds
the trees were still dead
the people, likewise
but it was different
if you stared hard enough
you would see it
the slightest sign of life
the smallest smile
she stared hard enough
she stared at him
it wasn't enough
