City Night Lights.

You know, many people will tell you about the beauty of the night sky out in the country or ont hte beach. And how you can see more stars than you can count on your fingers and toes, and the fingers and toes of everyone you know for that matter.
Don't get me wrong, the night sky on the beach is truely something to behold. And many believe that it's the be all and end all of night skys. But I beg to differ. As when I stood at the top of my street tonight, gazing back at the city, and thought, I wonder how many people would appreciate this beauty. The yellowy orange glow of the lights and buildings that give a pink glow to the low overhanging clouds that mask part of the night sky.
And while yes it is true that you can see less stars because of the city lights and clouds, but I believe that it unmasks the sky's true beauty. As it allows you to spot that special star, the one that shines brighter than all the rest, regardless of the city lights and clouds, it continues to shine.
And in that brief moment, it felt almost magical, just like the first time that I met you. So I just wanted you to know that you were on my mind that night, as I continued to stand there, looking up at the night sky, wishing you were there with me.
