there is this park close to my apartment. it's an amazing park, actually it's the most beautiful park i've seen here. the grass is as green as grass gets. the bronze sculptures all tell tales of surreal love. the cherry blossom trees are over bounty. the pansies are as bright as can be and a plethora of birds sit in the tress and graze the soil. everyday i walk past this park, often at various times. For as beautiful as this park is there is never anyone sitting at the benches. they’re never occupied. i'm always puzzled as to why no one sits to admire the beauty around. it's a very quaint park, quietly nestled between two city blocks.

you see, this park is a private park. only people who live between the two city blocks it's nestled between have a key that will open the iron gate that will give you access to all this beauty.

walking through the city to get to this park feels oh so familiar to me, actually it's the most comfortable spot i've found where i can walk past and feel so calm. i walked passed this park again today.

i would say that this park is a lonely park, lonely like me. perhaps it's this loneliness that draws me to it. oh, the familiar feeling of loneliness fills the air once again...i think i'm drawn to this park because it reminds me of what it's like to love you. it's beautiful and lonely, and can only be appreciated from afar because i'm not one of the special people who has the magical key to gain access to all that uninhibited beauty inside.

everyday i walk passed this park in hopes that one day someone will accidentally leave the gate open and for a moment i could actually step in and feel what it's like to be an insider, and that my moments of feeling like an outsider would be gone...BUT, today i realized that perhaps this park isn't for me. perhaps it's time that i found a place in this new city of mine that will embrace me and all my wants and loneliness. maybe it's time i find a place that will allow me access to all it's beauty; unselfishly embrace me and all my hopes, wants and desires...maybe it's time i find that place, for my sake and yours........i promise i will try.
