If only this night could go on forever

For the stars encapsulate my memory of you

For the moon reminds me that both of our eyes used to gaze at the same radiant glow

If only I could stay stuck in this moment forever, frozen in the twilight shadows of the night

For once upon a time
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
Yet I’m still here, standing still

For the night is liberation, the night is freedom from the sun’s inevitable rise without you under its rays

It is here that the paradox of grief strikes, creeping up as dusk falls, like a bride’s veil over the sky

The wonderful and terrible reality that people move on, the world continues turning, trees continue growing, and life continues living

But I’m not so sure about that

For I see you everywhere
In the notes of your favorite song
In the eyes of someone whom you loved
In the voice of a child on the street

But most of all, I see you in the moon and the stars of tonight, of tomorrow, of forever
