the night and I? yeah, we're friends.

Here's to the night.

I suck the color out of life and there you are.
Waiting, lingering on the edge of sanity,
just to take my thoughts.

My thoughts? Yes, you take them.
And flatten them and then you breathe them out.
You breathe them out as stars.

Then the stars are mine. All of them mine.
See, that is why I like you so well, you give me light.
Ironic that my only light is from the dark.

That's how I like it though.
The light is too easy.
The dark takes me. And makes me.

Then I find love.
My thoughts, your breath, our souls.
Together.

So that's our story. You and I.
I'm happy to romance my way into the stars.
I'm yours for the taking.
