the other night

the other night after the lights went out and before i fell asleep, i felt the world leave me.

the other night, laying alone in my head, i did not hear a sound that mattered i did not have a care.

the other night, imagining you dancing, i tried to join you but was content with watching.

the other night, as i felt myself drifting in to sleep i promised i'd find you one day and keep the lights on.
