I stood there marveling at the sights, shamelessly bobbing my head and tapping my feet to the oh-so-familiar carols blaring from the speakers. Everything's awesome except that I was there all alone. I thought, "What is taking you so long?"
Lights on, then out. On, then out. And so it went, the show, to everyone's delight except mine. While my eyes were glued to the magnificent number in front of me, my mind was busy minding something else. "Where are you?", I mutely wondered.
At the crescendo, I tilted my head to the left, then to the right. For good measure, I looked behind my back. Fixing my gaze ahead, a dry smile graced my face. Underneath the canopy of light-strewn tree branches, I shook my head in disbelief and silently mumbled, "There you go again."
Then, darkness - it's all over, all is lost.
