I can't fathom how a night such as this can bring out the ghosts I've tried so hard to avoid. Perhaps, they aren't ghosts at all. Perhaps, I've just been under the sunlight in so long that I've forgotten. They were silhouettes of cluttered thoughts and feelings I promised I would fix. They were voices in the night trying to pull me back to reality. But tonight, I closed my eyes and ignored the ghosts. Tonight is about the moonlight I bask myself in. Tonight, I smiled and waited for the dawn. I waited 'til I felt the gentle touch of the warm sunshine on my skin. I opened my eyes, and thought to myself: the ghosts can wait.
