lights

There comes a time that we feel extremely extroverted, and you just feel like you love everyone around you. Apparently, that's how I feel today. Most of my life, well all our lives actually, is lived in the company of friends, or family, or new acquaintances, or even complete strangers. It actually feels nice because of the fact that there is a lot to learn from how other people feel about life and love, or events, or pop culture, or other ideals and perspectives in life. And there is nothing like your laughter either overshadowing someone else's, or sliding with the whole group's.

That being said, I enjoy having quality time with myself, and myself alone. Whenever I can, I like to look out at the bright city lights. Sometimes, I feel more connected and understood with when I'm all by myself against a panoramic city and all the lights come sparkling throughout. A smattering of twinkling whites, yellows, reds against tall graying structures whilst the pitch-black night seems to have a legitimate presence; it's near tangible.

That of which is, as an observation, what inspired a song. A part of this cognition, and how it relates to my feelings towards a relationship, is enveloped around a melody, though I wanted to share a part of that concept here. Because sometimes, if I want to be completely understood without saying anything, I just sit and let things happen; I let myself loose and be held by the lights. And in all likelihood, that is what music does to all of us.

We are all familiar of the moment when a song is played and you realize it completely defines you or something you're going through, you're like, "Oh my gosh, this is my song!" It's the same thing as when I cast my eyes into the overlooking view of the city after the sun has set, then all the lights glimmer back, reassuringly. Well, that is my kind of song.
