There we were, side by side
With our arms around each other

Wearing the 1am madness
Of flushed cheeks
And tired feet,
Weary hands
And tainted breaths

That can only come
From fiery drinks
And fancy words

That we danced with in the streets

Skipping around
In
Random
Beats

Illuminating the darkness
Under the faint glow
Of faraway street lamps

With our stories in the sun
And dares in the dark

Together we while the worries away

And never wish
For the hours to hurry and say

That we've got to get up and leave

And put all those behind us

Because there lies an honesty
In the tales told at dawn

That is elusive during the day

When there is more light
As we speak in riddles
Masked in mirthless giggles

So we raise our glasses -

In the face of this madness

To the wobbling of knees
And falling face flat

As we collapse in heaps of uncertainty
That beholds the realm
Of storied infinity.
