The night sky was darker than usual; there were no stars pinpointing constellations in the blackness, I figured they must've grown tired from keeping me company every night. The moon seemed to have gotten enough of me also; it wasn't in sight. I rarely slept anymore, I could never seem to stop the constant flow of thoughts, and now they were the only things I could depend on. For a moment I considered that maybe, just maybe, the moon and the stars were only gone because they didn't want to see me leave, but then I realized that they were all the way up there and I was down here, and I was relatively unimportant. It was all just a big metaphor anyways. I had made so many of them, it was getting harder to tell the difference between a bunch of sad words and reality. Nevertheless, none of those words would really matter after tonight. I was leaving town; I was starting over. And I wasn't turning back.
