It's Christmas Eve, and I am walking around the city of London at night. The lights from the passing cars and the streetlamps are glaringly bright as I walk down the streets. The noisy cars driving by leave a cacophonic atmosphere.
People pass by me; I never acknowledge them, and they never acknowledge me.
The fog this late at night is making the scenery look ominous. The weather is frigid, but I do not feel the coldness at all.
Even in a big city, I feel alone and immune to the sights and events around me.
I miss you, Sirius. The world seems so different without your presence. Ever since you went to another realm when you passed through that veil, I realise how much you mean to me.
As I breathe out, the smoky aftermath reminds me of your smoking habits. I've always badgered you about quitting the disgusting habit, but now I even miss that.
I see couples holding hands together and kissing, and I recall all the affections we shared and the times we made love.
And now you are gone.
Why did you leave me?
I look at the empty space in front of me, and it really hurts for me to say this:
Happy Christmas, Sirius, wherever you are now.
