it was the night
when I thought the sky
would come and swallow me whole
and we stood cold
hidden in shadows
sharing soft kisses through chattering teeth

and we talked
about movies and love
and literature
and the ten years that just passed

it was that night
when everything was wrong
the check was off
we were rich in awkward moments
we were never alone
they wouldn't leave us alone
they were rich in worries

it was that night
leaning up against
nameless wooden fence
weathered like us
you told me
you would never let the sky take me

I believed you
