Its 10 minutes to midnight,
Im standing in the cold
With my warm coat hugging me
As I’m engulfed by the darkness.
Its 9 minutes to midnight,
And I’m gazing at the stars
With blurry vision
As i remember my lost friend.
Its 8 minutes to midnight,
I’m remembering the times where
I sat on the sill seeking comfort from the stars
As I wished I could have the courage to fall.
Its 7 minutes to midnight,
I smile looking up at bright Venus
But frown when I look up at
The burnt out north star.
Its 6 minutes to midnight,
And I close my eyes,
Embracing the privilege of
Being warm on a cold night.
Its 5 minutes to midnight,
And I remember the cold summer nights I had,
With unfamiliar faces,
So different yet we became so close.
Its 4 minutes to midnight,
And i feel a wave of guilt rush over me
As I remember my plans to prepare myself
Why did I have to do that?
Its 3 minutes to midnight,
And all sounds are absent.
No birds, no cars, no people
Just me and my unsteady breaths.
Its 2 minutes to midnight,
And I’m here
And your here.
Its 1 minute to midnight,
Silence.
Its midnight.
Its all going to be okay.
