But it's time to move on. It's time to find that one person who will stay with me despite distance, despite what life throws at us.
I walk away, feeling my heart die with each little step. It hurts to leave you, but I have to do it. I cannot linger on the past troubles anymore.
The city is bright and beautiful tonight. I wish you were...I erase that thought from my mind. 'It does not do well to dwell on the past,' I remember someone saying. So I don't.
Instead, I walk through the crowded streets of the town, drowning myself in the conversations around me. I slip between the lovers, the friends, the families.
I stop at the corner to look up at the sky again. The stars have disappeared in the bright haze from the city lights. But that's okay, because I am sure those are the stars you are looking up at in this moment.
Bright bursts of color shoot up into that empty sky and my ears fill with the sound of fireworks. These are the new stars in my sky, these brilliant flashes. As soon as one dies out, a new one appears. Like us. We died out, but there has to be a new one appearing soon. My soul mate, right?
I sigh and shake my head, turning to head back down the sidewalk to my apartment. My eyes pass over the crowds seeing nothing and yet, seeing everything. Love; it's everywhere.
I pause before a crosswalk to allow the cars to pass by me. And then that is when I notice him across the street. His eyes find mine. I'm just another girl in the crowd and his eyes find mine. Mine.
I could have waited for the traffic to clear, but instead, I step into the road. I step into that road to close the distance between him and I. I keep my eyes on him as I walk, ignoring the blaring horns around me. What I'm doing is dangerous yet I can't let myself stand there on the corner, waiting for the walk sign to light up. He could be gone by the time it turns.
