A Street With No Lights (Also July 2nd)

Tonight, I walked down a street. I was with many people but, there were no lights. If I was by myself, I would have been scared, ridiculously. And there is no doubt in my mind, I would have been running down that street. But I wasn’t alone. Yet, I didn’t feel safe either. I felt alone. How is it that I can be surrounded by people, some that I know care about me, yet feel so alone? A street with lights, is it any better than a street with none?
A street with no lights, may as well spell out no hope. No lights, no help. Right now, I feel like I am constantly on streets in complete darkness. I don’t know what to say or how to help others in the dark. I just wish I knew the right things to say. I wish I knew what to do.
Two major lights in my life just went out. The person I cared and poured my life into. And my best friend in the entire world, will no longer be my roommate, or so it seems. And in both cases, I have no choices, no options. No lights.
So, what can we do? When we are in complete darkness, a lack of light?

Will someone will please turn on the lights?
