Winter

As people say, time flies.

It still feels like yesterday when I told people what was my biggest wish. You will not believe me that I was surprised, too, when it finally came true.

Now here I am, on my way to fulfill another dream of mine. But it’s midnight, and I get homesick. I look outside my window, seeing nothing but dark and emptiness. Lights coming from some windows across the street and the cars that pass by. It’s cold, even I wrap myself up with a quite thick blanket, it’s still cold.  

My very first winter.

I am thinking to send you maybe some postcards, like I once promised you if I got a chance to continue my studies abroad. You’re always curious about winter anyway. But now I’m finally here, you do not give me chance anymore.

Winter night, humming streetlights,

and I don’t know it would be this lonely.

***

I watch the leaves fall down at midnight

There is no sound but humming streetlights

I feel the cold asleeps on my back 

I’ve tried to sketch myself a new map
