A/N: Hey guys! I'm back with something a bit more metaphorical, hope you like it!
She was a lone light, drifting in the wind, over fields and roads and houses and cities. A lone light in a darkness filled with hundreds of other lights all twinkling together.
Yet she was alone, adrift, stumbling her way through, not able to stop anywhere for long, with nothing to keep her anywhere for long.
She wasn't so much lost as she was solitary with mostly herself to give her company. She learned to love the little things, the things that stayed even if she didn't. The early morning dew on grass, the waves of the ocean, the shiver from the wind, the light from the sun.
She learned to rely on books, and games and people she had never met but saw everyday in a video or a chat or on posts that made her laugh. She learned to be okay with just herself.
But one day the lone light, finally found her way here. Here in this unobtrusive town, with simple people and a temp job at a small firm that was in need of an extra pair of hands.
She offered a smile and filed the paperwork and smelt the dew on the grass and the warmth of the sun. She went about her day until somehow, out of nowhere, he appeared with his stack of papers and smell of early morning dew and smile like the sun.
And the lone light flickered in a way it never really had before.
He talked about books and played games and made her laugh as she saw him every day. He made her feel better than okay.
The next few months she learned what it was like to have another light in her space, twinkling like hers. She learned to make room, create space and allow something new.
When her temp job ended they asked her if she would like to stay and the lone light tugged a little, ready to fall back into the wind and drift along.
But his hopeful smile pulled the tug in a different direction. She finally had something to keep her somewhere, someone to keep her somewhere.
A lone light, just drifting along, doing it's best had finally stumbled here. Right where it needed to. And now it would merge in the darkness filled with hundreds of other lights all twinkling together.
A/N: So what did you think? I thought for this week to put in a cute couple-y drabble (both for valentines day and to make up for the last one) and I just really liked this concept. You don't need a relationship to be happy, but sometimes it can add something else to your life.
That said, wishing you all a fun Valentine's day with people you love and care about, whether that be a significant other or friends :)
Please review! I'd love to hear your thoughts!
And as always thanks for reading!
See ya! :)
