angelinthecrosswalk

I was empty, my soul almost completely consumed by the darkness that ever loomed

I was absent in the day and in the night…

I was actually afraid to sleep.

I think my mind was so far gone that I thought if I slept a night, I would never wake up

There were so many things that I still wanted to see

Sleep was not an option.

I would not allow my life to end there, come now.

I found, each night, a method to occupy the hours

And on the particular night, the method was you.

I saw you there, in the crosswalk

It was entirely too late for any soul to be out there

And truth be told, im not entirely sure you quite knew what you were doing out there either

Perhaps you were searching for meeh

Nah, that just sounds too creepy.

But you were there. It was just us.

We spoke of random nothingness, which was cool

I mean what else is there at such ungodly hours

Like all my affairs, this too had to end with to coming of the sun

It was my curfew, but you promised to meet meeh the same time on the next evening

Pardon meeh for a moment, I am searching for a word…..

He said it, Maxwell I mean, you are the only thing that makes meeh wanna come out of these walls.

And its true.

The day came and I was different, anxious I suppose

The night could not come fast enough

I rushed out and there you were

My angel in the crosswalk

I had been saving my words the whole day long

That might speak them to none other than you

You were where I wanted to be.

Scary – I only admitted that just now.

Speak this to no one, and ill digress.

Many nights followed this way.

I was not so empty when the sun came for its daily visitation requirements.

There was a fire inside of meeh, and it burned for the night

It burned for you, you know.

Before long, I no longer had to go out to the crosswalk where you were that very first night

You came to meeh

We talked to hours away and the sun grew jealous

but that was of no importance because we were together

and I slept that night for the first time in ages

and you were not far

when I opened my eyes then

your smile greeted meeh
