Always For You

It is true that absence makes the heart grow fonder.
And while your heart grows fonder, the absence makes the mind grow sadder.
-------
I miss things I never thought I would... and the absence is killing me.
-------
Edmonton is such a pretty city. Everything about it is brilliant and peaceful and exciting.
The skyline.
The back alleys.
The river valley.
The sounds.
The people.
-------
Don't get me wrong...
Everyone I've met so far here, have been wonderful.
-------
But they aren't Edmontonian.
-------
It's probably way too early to even be thinking like this.
I mean, I just got here.
But really.
This city is so old and seems very... still, almost... too traditional.
Of course there is so much history here and great things happened on this land,
but where is the colour?
This city is so monochromatic.
It's all concrete and stone.
All freeways and cramped streets.
The most beautiful thing I've seen since I've been here...
the sky at dusk after the rain.
-------
New life is incredible, isn't it?
A brand new flower blooming, or a baby being born.
It's as immaculate as the sky at dusk, after the rain...
