nocturnal youth by crimesididntcommit
on fire, forever
On nights like this we know that they will never end and neither will we no matter how much we try or want them to. Someone tells me they think I’ll be their new best friend; I will never see or talk to them again. I can't remember the last time I saw the full sun in the sky but I can remember the last time I even bothered looking.
I’d woken up with the lights off and the stars out, twinkling and LED, soft sparkles that wavered back and forth, the sky a surface still and waiting to ripple. If I threw something at it, the liquid would tremble. I don’t have to do these things to know them with a certainty. I look up now at the midnight sky and I don’t have to check the time to know that that’s when it is, because it’s always this time at night, and it’s always this dark, and there are people here with me but I might as well be alone and when I try to find some sound to soothe it all I get nothing but static filling my head, filling my eyes, all my thoughts heavy with the absence of you.
