The sun is setting and the scenery makes me think
The clouds in my mind fade away as the thoughts compose themselves
Right now the palatte is all the shades of blue
The mountains are slowly tapering into darkness
As the curtain of the sky falls, the stars begins its nightly performance
A scenery set for two
Or someone weary of a long hard journey taken with a long lost friend
Except me because I am sitting here all alone

People pass by in groups and crowds
Laughing and chattering with their cameras
The scenery never appease their eyes but should always be in their instagram
Holding hands the couples do all the cheesy things
The ones that make me quiver with longing
The lakeside cafes and restros are lit
Music seeps slowly in the air as if it never left
And yet with gaiety all around me
I feel a sad longingness whirling inside me

Today I am relying on this scenic generosity
So many things go through my mind
I want to say all those things to someone who'd understand
How important this peace is and why this crosses my mind
That sometimes life just goes on rewind
But most importantly I want to tell someone that I am making through
I am crawling through life as slow as a turtle
And moments like these fleetingly, give strength to these crooked thoughts
But I am sitting here all by myself
Like a rusting boat tied to the dock
I wish someone called my name and I join this jovial celebration
But the sky goes dark and everything shuts down
And I sit here, awaiting the dawn
