take me i'm yours...

Yesterday was my little cousins birthday =] yayyy so HAPPY BIRTHDAY to her. We decided to go skating, well they did i just watched sitting pretty, then we headed to the city to go have dinner and boy was it yummy.
On our way back home my impulsiveness kicked in and i decided to get off a stop in Harlem and head the complete opposite way of where i was suppose to. The moment i actually build up the courage was when Tasha said "well if you're gonna go minus well go now", so i just hoped out the bus and for a second just stood there before i realized i was already off, there was no turning back and it was late so i needed to start walking somewhere. I walked across the street to the 24hr deli and bought the first thing that came to mind, gum, i really didn't want any but i was cold and needed an excuse to go inside and use my phone. Once i left the store i started making my way uptown on foot but not before long ended up flagging a cab down because beside it being cold and really late i was alone and just looked like i didn't belong out there at all. After trying so hard to tell the cab man my destination without having an exact address he knew what i meant and started driving. It gave me a headache but i squinted the whole ride there trying to see if in the sea of faces i saw a familiar one, yours. I didn't so i just told the man to keep driving until we finally made it to that place i thought I'd never again step foot in. I paid the man the fair, thanked him, and got out the car right back into the cold.
There was a group of people standing outside so i try to seem as if i knew exactly where i was going and started heading into the maze of buildings. I walked the way i thought i remembered walking before but it wasn't long until i felt i was just gonna get lost so i decided to stop and walked back the way i came from. I made it half way to the train station and again changed my mind and turned around making my way back into the buildings where i saw some red benches and decided to sit down. The later it got the colder it turned and man was it late and cold out there, the cold wind was a little numbing though so i didn't mind it too much and it helped me think some what. I sat and i went over somethings in my head, i questioned me being there at that moment and i somehow found reasons to justify it although the truth of the matter was i knew better than to be there. I told myself i should just leave and i gave me five minutes, within those minutes i would either have made the right choice or a really stupid one.
Did i mention how cold it was outside, five minutes are up! I get up from the benches and walked the same way i came, towards the train station. I'm walking as fast as i can to try and catch a cab, the streets were pretty much dead at that time of night but i see someone walking my way. My horrible eyesight didn't let me distinguish the figure walking towards me, it was only once we were really close that i realize what was in front of me. That familiar face i looked for earlier had finally showed up, and there you were right in front of me...
