Perfectly Okay

It’s in the broken hours of the night that minds pace through hallways of a never-ending maze Sleep is just the prize of a game we barely play We don’t need to close our eyes to see what we fear We’ll hide in alleyways to avoid it and stand near Under dimmed streetlights with little enough light I can see you walk away It’s unfortunate I’ve watched your back through an infinite gaze I memorized the wrinkles on your shirt and the words I’ve yet to say Turn around and let me see your face You don’t have to respond to what you find strange Given what we don’t have there’s no need to pretend that you’re my other half I can be a puzzle with a missing piece but still convince myself I’m always complete We didn’t see the picture on the box to try to get a clue However it looks in the end could all be up to you I’ll dance under the moon holding nothing but a broom Practicing for the night I can say I’m your groom
