[ WP ] You are on a midnight walk alone with your thoughts .

You ever look at the night sky in the middle of nowhere, Texas? Ever hear that saying, the stars at night are big and bright deep in the heart of Texas? It does n't do the real sight of a Texas night justice, yet from atop this hill- staring up at the infinititude of space- that's all I can think of. 
 
 The stars at night are big and bright... 
 
 My phone is next to me right now, as I scribble this in a little journal, a bright little star shining from the ground towards heaven. It's buzzing ( again ) but I pay it no mind. The woman on the other end has said all that she needs to- all that I want to hear. If it rings again I'll turn it off. I want to be alone. 
 
 These stars are a constant, beautiful and mesmerizing. It was here that we walked those years ago, full of life and love. I walked here alone today, though it seemed like I was following her ghost. In those stars, squinting, I see her face. 
 
 For once, she's happy. And the thought of that rare smile, engraved in those constant stars, makes me happy; if only for a while. 
 
 Next to me my phone in ringing again. Hypocritical as it is pick up. 
 
 Tears in my eyes and a smile on my face, I say hello to your mother. And goodbye to her ever melancholy face.
