i was getting bored at 8 pm and asked my parents if i could go out
"sure but stay in the neighbourhood, it's a bit dark"
i went straight to the nearest park which looked more like a king's garden
and walked the streets all alone, because it was too late and cold for anyone to be here
i entered the park and sat back on the kids' slide
watching the sky without stars.
depressing, but relaxing.
i was cuddling in my own hoodie to keep warm
when i heard a weird noise and got startled thinking it was a dog
but no, when i got up and turned my head
it was you.
