- and now you know!

It dawned on him just how small he really was as he gazed upwards at the man made marvels glistening in the sky. The darkness could not seem to find its place in the mass of lights and billboards, so it settled just above the bright glow of the skyline. The night air was warm and damp, nothing that he had been exposed to before at this time of the year. Walking with no destination in a city that seemingly never ends he felt alone. The streets were empty and the doors were locked and it seemed that the city slept as he quietly krept along the concrete paths. In his lonely and solitary walk he decided he wanted to talk, so he called her and she was far away. He said oh dear, you listen here – you should be walking along with me / you’ve made some decisions don’t you see that this is where you should be. Making his way down historical trails, walked by the rich and the poor and now finally him he knew where he belonged. Finding his way back under the ground into the man made mechanical worm that tunnels its way all over the city and stops only for its contents to surface he climbed in and sighed. Clicking and clanking and weaving and speeding he found his stop after several had gone by. Out of his new artificial friend and again into the bright night sky. Sleep came and he was lonely, he wanted nothing more than to be with her. All through the night he was wrestles – and so a few hours he slept no more and no less, then the sun came again to his distress. Gathering his tired mass and finding his way to the door he was amazed to see the place in full light. The foggy smog of exhaust and cold morning air lingered above hazing over the buildings elegantly making them difficult to see. Off to explore just a little bit more, but soon he’d be coming back to her. He decided he had seen enough of all of this stuff and got into his car and headed out for home. The road was long and winding but he made his way forward. And then he was home and for a minute he felt alone until she walked in wearing a grin his spirits lifted and he was now happy. I’ve missed you so, said the boy to the one. And I’ve missed you replied her as well. He held her close and was happy and told her of the journey he had. All the puzzle pieces began to come together, as they too found happiness in each other.
