A moment in the life...

I'm standing by the open window in my room listening to the drone of air conditioners and traffic around me as I stare out into the approaching clouds. It's almost night time, and heat lightning, as they call it, flickers like bothersome camera flashes in the distant storm. Every once in a while a breeze will leak in through the screen and push the strands of hair from my cheeks. It's not a cold or a warm breeze, it's absolutely perfect, and it reminds me of someone.

I've got a candle lit, a single candle, as if I'm preserving energy or even a mood. The flashing light in the clouds keeps my eyes staring into nothing, and with my eyes busy, my mind has the chance to trail off... I'm reminded of someone again.

The smoke from the now extinguished candle makes my eyes burn a little, and they start to water. Not a purposeful water, just enough to keep my vision clear so my head stays the same way. But another breeze hits my cheeks and pushes a tear drop out of it's home... I'm still thinking about them...

I guess some things you really can't escape. :)
