city lights

went for a drive...the city is beautiful at night and makes me wonder why i've stayed away from this city for so long. my heart is partly filled with moments of nostalgia and that puts a slight choke in my throat. i need to spend more time here to overlay and overlap the memories of oh-so-long ago. missed a phone call with news of a party and pictures posted...will soon go to sleep and tomorrow find myself at a wedding reception...a strange feeling to see family friends who are younger than me beginning their families and lives of coupleship. anyhow, i am tired now and for some reason cannot wait to put my head upon my pillow---feeling a little melancholy tonight.
