12pm and we are walking back to the train station. I feel a little more regret with each step. Barely a word exchanged but our emotions are kept within each motion.
She says I wish I could show my appreciation.
11am and our nerves are driven mad. I try not to think back but the past bites at my conscience,
Now I'm biting the bottom of your back just slowly sapping your warmth.
Its a little past the time and I know this won't last forever. My lips drop a little lower.
Two gasps in wonder.
10am and I'm stirring to the sound of a breath, I realize you're here and that makes this okay.
You haven't left.
A wayward dream creates a shattered conclusion. I have you now and I want you now.
A hand slides into another. They fit perfectly.
Correctly. Surely this feeling isnt pure ecstasy.
9am and the first alarm rings. I hate the sound of it and reach to turn it off. There is a presence which makes me feel uneasy. My heart races and I remember you're here too. I should be at ease. My breathing slows as we match movements. I slowly kiss the nape of your neck.
Its a nick sparks moment but who's bothered with the motions?
Our true motives will come with this morning.
8am and I'm restless as there is another body here. I remember in an instant that its you and instinct pulls you closer in. Our arms wrapped in one another's.
I feel free.
7am and my dreams are as pleasant as they were once bitter.
6am and I can't sleep. I'm too stirred by the drink our flavors could mix and make.
Are we a creation or a fake?
I will find out today.
5am and our eyes are closed. But our minds race. I whisper are you okay, you no longer respond. You inch closer to me. Our breathing slows.
4am and we're dead to the world but alive to our touch. Slowly, but surely.
3am and we come inside from clumsiness.
Foolish trials to come close, I smile as improvement becomes insurance.
You will come back again.
2am and the black tar teaches us mistakes I will never forget. Your grace is embedded in your silliness. One more dance.
One more swaying motion. I'll find myself back where I want to be. Whether tonight ends or tomorrow begins.
1 am and I escape the world as I feel your arm in mine. Everything begins tonight. I know I'll feel alright soon. Just you and the moon.
12pm and my life includes a random encounter from you. I'm escaping a party with no intention of being held ransom for my company. A mere thought escapes my mind that this isn't where I want to be. But fate has said this is where I need to be.
11pm and I'm preparing to head out.
With a future so bright but a dull outlook on life.
Whatever I didn't know was coming,
Whatever lies beyond this night.
The future doesn't scare me anymore.
How can I lose,
What I already don't have?
