Dandelion

I walked the streets, overwhelmed and mentally blinded by the feed of information coming in over my senses. The aurous screens of sunlight lit the leaves frisking along the stone walkways. I heard sweet harmonics and laughter. This city possessed a degree of vibrance that was astounding. It was a city of fierce passion, love & melancholy, exuberance, humility.
I loved the people in this city, and had their love in return. It was no difficult task: one succumbed easily to the effects of such warmth and open friendliness, and found oneself desiring to please others the way they had been pleased.
I had not been present long before I came to call this place home. I fit entirely here.
I felt happy in this world with ones I loved, but I was aware of a certain emptiness, a disconnection. I realized that I would never truly belong, beyond merely fitting in.
I sat by the high wall of the gates in intense thought, lovingly tracing the script of the city name with my fingertips. It pained me to know I couldn’t stay.

    Truly sad, to be so discontent in a place called home.

    Oh yes, that was supposed to be _hi_lighted, not lighted. There must have been some kind of typo or nixing because of character count or something. All fixed now!
    And I’ve never heard that song before, but I’m going to look it up now. I’m curious.
