(n.) one who stays up late
﹊
Remember us tonight,
Of how we felt under the neon lights.
And if you ever go back home,
I will always be your threshold.
Remember us tonight,
Of how we danced 'till the night turned into
starlight,
And I know you'll be leaving from the one
place you've ever known,
But I will be one call away from the
telephone.
Remember us tonight,
Of how the neighborhood's scattered
porches looked in the dimlight,
As if we were the only silent souls in the
household,
With ever-running thoughts if you'd still
remember me when we're old.
When the plane takes flight into motion,
Picture me in the deep-blue ocean,
Constantly trying to cross the tides,
Just please don't forget me alright?
If you do have children someday in
that town of future nostalgic memories,
Tell them about the tales of our entwined
hands as a mini-series,
And how we had to let go when
circumstances sabotaged our luck,
But what we once had was enough.
