One Long Night

Stalkers…

Hate ‘em?

Love ‘em?

Wanna be ‘em?

Oh, don’t admit you haven’t.

Don’t admit you haven’t wanted to obsess over one person forever, but you’re too “afraid” to.


I walk, I talk, I stalk.

I watch her…

as her shoes scrape against chalk,

as she twirls in a blur.

_Mine_.


Oh, darling, darling, darling.

My sweet child.

You haven’t any idea what is happening.

You don’t know the wild.


I love you...

and you love me too.

I know you know it;

But you’re just scared to admit

that love’s not all it’s chalked up to be.

It’s more.


And I’m going to show you;

I will take you far away from here.

For one night, while have no clue

where you can steer.

It’ll be a dream,

don’t worry.

Because everything will seem

perfect.

We’ll be together.

Forever

and ever.

You, me, us.

We must

be one

for one long night.
