When it's winter and the Suns
ended its shift way too early. My teeth were chattering after a long day. I'd been
studying from 8am, it
was well past 6pm now. I
hugged my coat around me
tighter, my bus stop was a
long power walk away. I don't like acknowledging it, but it's scary to be out at night. I popped my earphones in
and was comforted by the
music. Ah, the
cold dark amongst a hundred other
strangers is bearable now. I
came across a red light, I
stuffed my hands in my pockets as I tried to stay warm while staying
still. I don't remember
what I was doing exactly after
that. Probably mouthing lyrics
or trying to
stand taller than I really am.
But then you appeared. Oh how happy I was when I realised it was you. At first of course I had to hit you, you
can't spring up on me like
that! You know how I get.
Huddled together you walked me
to my stop. I held your hand
inside my pocket. It
was a short time spent with
you, but definitely the highlight of my day.
