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

The city lights below look like a vast sea of stars that flicker dimly every so often. I look up at the void that is the dark night sky and let a low hum. Only a few stars can be seen twinkling in comparison to the plethora of city stars from below. The orange dim glow of the lights make my eyes droop, reminding me of the time. I slow my pace and let the gentle night breeze caress my skin, sending playful shivers down my spine. Finally, I stop and gaze up, then down again. 
 
 I let out a sigh of appreciation nonetheless for the lights, fake or not. A small smile sneaks its way on my lips and I ca n't help but remember when I walked a similar trail with my partner a year ago. We used to walk above the city lights but always below the stars. It felt like walking in limbo. We were in a world of our own being sandwiched between humanity below and the infinite skies above. I remember the talk of our future together, the endless possibilities, the laughter, tears and jokes in this small space. It felt as if nothing could destroy this world we created together. 
 
 But that was a year ago when he was still a part of this world. I stuffed my numb fingers into my pockets and quickened my pace. Suddenly, the night wind seemed to nip mockingly at my skin as I begin my descend down the hill towards my home in the city. It's about time to rejoin humanity. Perhaps someday I will join him up in the sky.
