Last Night

We stand together on this night,

None of us want for it to end.

 

Tomorrow we will part ways, go home,

Not to be back for another year.

 

We look around the sea of people

And there is nothing but sadness, nothing but tears.

 

At first I am fine, sad,

But no tears have yet to hit these eyes.

 

But then I turn around and you are there,

Tears streaming down your face.

 

As you sob into my shoulder,

I lose it.

 

We finally break apart,

Moving on to embrace the rest of the world.

 

Some mean more than others,

Some mean the end of a long journey together as we part ways in the world.

 

We all walk up together, the night is still,

The stars more beautiful than ever.

 

With final hugs and final sobs,

We part ways for the night.

 

While we will see each other in the morn’,

It feels as though heaven has come to an end.
