I didn't get to where I am today!

Some nights, walking home, I
Veer off the path to an unknown street
Ever so sure I’ll come across a
Truly novel sight, or new idea; but the road
Less traveled is, sadly,
A rare thing, in a metropolis that
Never sleeps, nor ever stops, for
Albeit a moment, to breathe…

Ideally,
Love is a thing that could work, once
In a rare while, if only
Everyone involved
Veered off the beaten path,
And tried to seize the moment. No, yes…?
