heart so happy

the skies were overcast the entire day, only letting the sun out for a minute and the moon still had to shy behind the clouds. there was a steady drizzle but a vicious wind that turned my umbrella inside out constantly, and the raindrops washed my cherry red boots. the raindrops, the rivers, always seem to capture what little sun london has and it is so beautiful to me. it was at most 17deg the entire day and i almost forgot that we were in the thick of summer -- what a thrilling end to august. i wish i could capture moments in vials: then, i would always revisit how tonight felt. the euphoria of having just watched charlie and the chocolate factory (a childhood favourite) and walking back to charing cross in the light drizzle and never-ending cold beating down on me with cars and buses swooshing past. the easy familiarity walking from edgware road station to the apartment. i wish this could go on forever. this thought keeps coming back to me -- that tiny fleeting thoughts i've ever thought insubstantial and of no weight actually have come forward to fruition somehow, and maybe one day the big dream can actually be something.
