a night of love and death cab.
the night was brighter than it should have been-
bright moonlight covered in a haze of blankety clouds.
down the backroads
we speeded towards unknown destinations-
parking lots and back alleys…
or so we thought…
we were serenaded by soft words
and the catchy melodies
and i sang along as usual.
there weren’t really any words,
just a carefully placed hand
and an occasional smile
as the red glowing stop lights
made the foot connect with the brake to cease motion.
the night was very still
as we came into town.
there weren’t any words as we neared town,
passing lonely fast food establishments
filled with the stoned and the sobering up,
people just wanting to get home.
that wasn’t us…
we wanted to live forever in the moment-
in the spotlight of the dimmed moon…
under street lights…
under starlight…
anywhere but seperated by the seemingly forever distance.
and i sang and i hummed
and i wished…
wished for the answers to my aching questions.
but there were no answers
so we sat in silence
and kissed under moonlight and streetlight and starlight
in perfection.
