the longest night ever.

so everything only starts to make sense at 10pm.
the night gets younger and the sky continues on it's dark rampage of situational gloom or mystery or romance or silence but it's only a matter of hours before it starts to pale.
while it seems the wait won't be long, suddenly minutes that pass in a flash feel like hours and in the darkness where light can only be manipulated anything can happen.

strangers you cross on the street without giving second thoughts to could become potential friends, confidants, lovers, partners. shame and pride are put aside in the same basket and you can be anyone you want to be.
maybe this night will never end.

and when i wake up it'll be as though it never happened.
but the rain is pouring so hard that the pitter patter that it started with is just a memory in a relatively forgotten past.
so loud that you can't hear your own thoughts and your brain takes a break.
and emotion wells up so much that you didn't realize how much your brain was taking away and feigning how little attention you gave to what you really desired.
suddenly all you understand is different. your life takes on a huge change in priorities because your wants have become your needs and your needs simply become the life you already live.
so maybe we don't need all this.
maybe what we feel, when the music is so loud we forget to think,
let our hearts skip a beat and feel what our hearts are pulling us towards... is all we need.
so please, don't stop the music.
