One night,
It was rather an odd night
For many things had happened
in just a short span of time
People in different suits and different dresses
Walks in a pace that seem to be
a bit of random
But in a normal kind of random
Skyscrapers lit up the skies
Filling it with so much light
The moon and the stars were out shined
I walk in the similar random pace
fast, slow, pause, resume
fast, slow, pause resume
Down the stairs, up the stairs
Go right, then left
and then,
I stopped
It was the crossroads
where cars and people intercept
It's where the three colors combine
Red, Yellow, Green
Stop, Slow, Go
People waits patiently
Others doesn't
I was caught with the traffic
of the wonders of the crossroads
I was stuck, only for a minute
and there it was,
It turned to go green for the people
and red for the cars
I walked the striped path
White, black, white, black, white, black
and then, He called my name
In the middle of the crossroads
I felt a hand graze mine
My head raised,
deep curiosity fills me
A smile greeted my sight
It was a warm smile
A smile that seemed to know me
My heart started to thump
Like the thump of people walking
It followed the rhythm of the light that blinked
And I knew for a moment
That the crossroads
was meant for the people to meet in its center
But never meant to stop
So I walked
Towards the opposite of him
The smile still stayed with him
as I saw him move away
opposite from me
but still, I smiled at him
hoping that he will catch it
That's when the lights turned
Red for the people
and Green for the cars
And he glitched from view
I stayed facing the crossroads
hoping to see him again
to go and follow him
But, he didn't stay.
That's when I decided
That the crossroads makes people meet in the middle
But it never meant for it to stop
It meant for everyone to move on
Because the lights will change
And everything
will glitch
and fade from view.
