That Night

Lost in confusion As the chaos of the world Was around me. In that starry night The moon was full Summer was in the air. I saw only you, I wanted to see Only you. For you shone so bright With the light I saw In your eyes. So I came closer, Closer to holding All I ever wanted. And as I walked to you Locked in our gaze I searched for meaning, Guidance, affirmation. My every dream was realized As you reached out Your hand. And soon after was left broken As she took Your grasp And the only thing I thought I ever trusted myself with. I stood still Ever so still With my heavy heart. And the world continued to dance To its music. With all the night's festivities Suddenly the sky lit up Captivated by its beauty I surrendered All my fears To the evening sky. And though there was So much sadness I cannot possibly explain, It was that night I lost and found myself again.
