i can see for miles and miles

I can see two sets of fireworks right now. The ones in Coal Harbour and the ones right below the Lion's Gate Bridge. Somehow watching fireworks by yourself seems like the lonelinest thing in the world to do.

I didn't know how lonely having a baby would make me. How it would make me tied by this invisible string to my child. Some parents can leave their babies with friends, or relatives. My baby screams if she's with anyone but me and sometimes her dad. But still, mostly me. So I'm at home, alone. Because she's a asleep and the dog is too young to babysit.
