Late Bird

in the quiet diner, surrounded by whispering shadows and the gentle hum of the cooling system, I feel like a lost wanderer in the darkness of the night. the neon-lit letters of the sign flicker irregularly, a reflection of my thoughts swaying in turmoil.

It's strange how life in the silence of an empty diner evokes a kind of introspective reflection. Time seems to have its own dimension here, stretched and twisted, as if it had been waiting for me to reflect my own inner tumult.

I stare into my coffee cup, now only displaying a sluggish reflection of my weary eyes. A wisp of steam rises, instantly dissipating in the cold night air. Perhaps I am like that steam, visible and then gone in this night.

It's not just the time that brought me here. It's this sense of loneliness that sometimes overwhelms me. In a world that never stops, I feel like a lost puzzle piece that never finds its proper place.

The sounds of the night seem to amplify, as if trying to drown out my thoughts. A distant car traversing the lonely street, a faint clinking of dishes being worked on in the kitchen—they all blend into this melancholic symphony of my existence.

And yet, I am here, in this silent haven of the night, surrounded by the faint yellow light of the diner. Maybe this is exactly what I need—a moment of silence to gather myself before plunging back into life's bustle.

I take a sip of my cold coffee, long robbed of its warmth, and offer a faint smile. Perhaps it's okay to be lost—for at least one night. Maybe I'll find myself again in the dawn of tomorrow.
