In the Night

I understand.

I know why we are here.

To share our solitude, hold our embrace, kiss that smile.

In the still of the night.

To make mistakes, to dance underneath the moonlight, to lose our minds,

In the thrill of the night.

To share stories, to understand and be understood, to explain our times,

In the shrill of the night.

To burn out than fade away, to hide ourselves beneath our makeup, the flash and the embellishment,

In the frill of the night.

To destroy hope, all in vain; to hurt, to leave without a goodbye,

In the ‘kill’ of the night.

I understand.

I know why we are here.

To be immortal in each others’ lives;

While being strangers: 25 to life.

To live on as memories;

While seething on destiny.

Cross-roads: The road untaken, the words unsaid, the stringless kite.

To resign, without a trace,

Following the path illuminated.

Out of sight, out of mind.

In the light of the night.
