Midnight


Midnight is my favorite time 

It’s the darkest time of night but

It’s the brightest time to see the stars 

So I stay up to watch them

because watching the stars can’t change 

the stars move 

The stars die and their explosions

are beautiful 

the stars are born again

but they are still the stars

when i watch the stars the man in the moon 

He watches with me, cycling,

we are friends the moon and i 

he leave every day

but he always comes back

And he may not be visible but he’s their 

you and me, our Love is like these stars 

Trying to count it all is impossible 

And trying to hold on leaves us grasping at nothing

we have to let them go and

hope they return tomorrow

But how long will they stay 

How long before the man in the moon leaves

Before all the stars die off and are never reborn 

before the 

Sun goes away 

No one can see it

and i may be just one in millions who watch the 

million and one stars but i cannot forget that 

these stars might kill me 

drag me down with them till i am reborn as one of their own

as a million and one

i beg you please don’t let me go

don't let them take me away from you away from us 

don’t let me explode before 

you finish saying all your last words

please, stop the explosion so first we can be reborn

don't let me burn out a million and one times with these stars

because the fire that they will take me with it is bright 

and your light is slowly fading and I don’t know if i'll be able

to see it over the beautiful explosion

all I ask is please don’t leave me 

Don’t leave me in a crater 

don’t leave me like the man in the moon each day

don’t leave me and never come back 

because i won't be able you stay after that 

after that i will let the stars take me 

to finally meet the man in the moon 

and i will never again meet you
