Certain Other Somebodies

See this picture of the CN tower? The camera is slightly tilted, so the tower looks like Pisa. My hand moved, resulting in blurry lights. It's quite the imperfect image really.
The lonely CN tower, so perfect and tall and proud and..alone. No matter how many people appreciate its perfection, nobody knows quite how to take a perfect picture. It's cursed with an existence of lonely days and even lonelier nights while its many fans frolick around in its courtyards with their certain other somebodies.

Every now and then, the love of your life goes on a rendezvous with a certain other somebody, completely oblivious to your unconditional love. You sit there smiling, heavy-hearted, not blinking lest the tears slide down your cheek. You must be happy for your love. After all, that is true love isn't it? To selflessly be happy when your love is happy. But what should one do with the jealous pain?

This tower can't help but be immersed in this world where her love switches certain other somebodies and enjoys them all. She feels hurt, and ignored for herself. And she feels happy for him. Crazy dilemmas the universe hands out to lonely perfect towers.
