Out with lanterns,
the moon and all it's friends.
searched for us.
Once caught,
the night held on to us.
It wouldn't let go,
It had claws,
in every shadow,
Every tree,
Every building
and neon lights.
Pulling us further from home,
further from the familiarity of light.
Away from the sun,
Away from the day,
We grew in the dark like owls.
We sang lullabies under the moon.
Building dreams and nightmares
in the palm of our hands as we walked hand in hand
Under street lights.
We were alive,
we were unscathed,
we were young.
but we had something that most did not have
True love..
While they walked the day trying to find it,
We found it
driving down the free way
in full speed
At 11:59..
