People in the city come and go, like leaves falling from trees
They have different personalities and moods, just like the kaleidoscope of autumn’s leaves with their different shapes and sizes
Maria is the most beautiful leaf of all – hers is the most vibrant of autumn colors
Like most people in Japan, I imagine she probably spends the night singing karaoke with her friends and then going out and enjoying the many street stand vendors and their food and merchandise
They’re probably so happy laughing with each other. . .
I wish I was there with her
And maybe we’d both be wearing yukatas
And I’d take her by the hand and we’d dance under the moonlight
