why are city lights so much prettier than small town stars to me
I've never been one to have the desire to always live in a small town
to know the story of everyone
and to have the map of the town tattooed to my palm
I've always liked the idea of unknowing
to not always know what's two streets away
to not kow everyone in the city
and I've always enjoyed the beauty of it all
in a small town you will run out of views and sights eventually
but in a city, they are infinite
when it's constantly changing you can everything newly
new lights, new faces, new buildings, new streets
change to some can be intimidating
but change to me is something of beauty
and to prefer that over similarity is not wrong of me
I've always had the urge to live somehwere bigger than me
something larger than life I suppose
and it's the night that has shown me this
once the streetlights turned on and we roamed the streets
I fell in love
small towns only had starts and similar roads
the citied held more to me
Was it wrong to fall in love with streetlights?
I was staying in the closest city to me one night and at 2am in my hotel room I was staring out the window and realized how I have a desire for change. Maybe someone else is longing for something new as well. Possibly someone else has fallen in love with the streetlights too.
