And it starts

Sometime around midnight

Or at least that's when you lose yourself

For a minute or two

As you stand

Under the bar lights

The band plays some song about forgetting yourself for a while

The piano's this melancholy soundtrack to her smile

~

And so there's a change

In your emotions

All of these memories come rushing like feral waves to your mind

Of the curl of your bodies, like two perfect circles entwined

You feel hopeless, and homeless, and lost in the haze of the wine

And you walk

Under the streetlights

You're too drunk to notice that everyone's staring at you

You don't care what you look like

The world is falling around you
