I remember the night we were in Rosebank
It was cold enough for my light skin to shiver
It was cold enough for me to feel your warmth
The world was rotating at a rapid rate
Only the power of your beauty made it stand still

The night which seemed to go on for forever

Your hand in mine
We possessed the secrets to eternal happiness
The softness of your kiss
Created a spark which left the whole planet in flames
Slowly burning
Leaving the whole universe in awe
The sun
Too timid to make a return

The night which seemed to go on for forever

To the rest
This night will always be seen as an ordinary night
To some
This night will not have even happened
But I constantly get flashbacks of this night,
Especially when I ignorantly smoke a cigarette
Trying to reignite the passion once felt
Trying to set the planet aflame, once again
But these memories are slowly killing me
Piece by piece...
Leaving ashes which mark the emotions of nostalgia

The night which seemed to go on for forever
