midnight thoughts

s t r e e t

i can't seem to stop
looking at the end of the street,
while we walk
while we laugh.

can't seem to stop
laughing
so that maybe
we won't feel the end of the street.

can't seem to stop
holding your hand
so that maybe
we will fall off the grid together.

can't seem to stop
the time
so that maybe
we will sharing smiles forever.

but nothing i can do
will stop
everything.

so maybe
i'll just laugh and smile
while we're still walking
even if the dead end is getting
closer.
