We ate these midnight hearts, hoping that we could stop the sun from rising So that we may stay in the night forever, we wanted this evening to be a century, a universe that expands infinitely But our denial was ever present, just like the moonlight on the rain soaked asphalt Our night was not infinite, it was just a moment, a moment that would be like any other moment In a blink we had smiles, the next one we were watching the rain, the next one we saw the sun peering over the pines I know melancholy isn’t always nice, but it was better than sadness for us

Midnight Sadness
We ate these midnight hearts, hoping that we could stop the sun from rising So that we may stay in the night forever, we wanted this evening to be a century, a universe that expands infinitely But our denial was ever present, just like the moonlight on the rain soaked asphalt Our night was not infinite, it was just a moment, a moment that would be like any other moment In a blink we had smiles, the next one we were watching the rain, the next one we saw the sun peering over the pines I know melancholy isn’t always nice, but it was better than sadness for us
