Seems Like

I soak my first sip of my hot coffee
Watching the crowd,
That amuses my eyes,
I figured out different shapes,
I see faces,
Mostly couples!
Young and old,
The young are loud,
Speaking and giggling with sound.
Oops!
The crowd distracted me...
From my coffee...
It's cold now.
I glance another look over this mass,
To discover old couples,
Walking in calm,
Not even a sound,
Just walking hand in hand,
Smiling from time to time,
Seems like... 
Years muted their sounds,
Seems like...
Their love becomes soo calm,
Smooth like the Amazonian river.

Aah, you're a people watcher. It can be a fascinating occupation

Not really! When I'm in the middle of a crowd, all I see is people. It isn't an enchanting occupation it's an act of boredom, but it inspires me with lines from time to time.
