heading home

the lovers
are everywhere tonight.
out on
the boulevard.
the weather has brought
them out.
young and old.
there is a sparkle in their
eyes.
hands
held as they walk by
the fountains.
stars
are in the sky.
they lean onto one another,
whispering,
laughing.
they're night is just
beginning,
you think, as you walk
alone, heading home,
passing by.
