tonight i met someone i should have met long ago. tonight i came face to face with something i've always ran from. tonight felt like it was attatched to no particular date. tonight i felt out of the loop and out of myself. tonight felt like last friday. tonight gave me as many answers as last night. tonight was a good night for stars, maybe a better night for dreaming, maybe a best night for wondering. tonight i was split in two. tonight tried to pull me towards something but i ended up somewhere else. tonight i felt closer and farther apart than ever. tonight distance supplanted itself, firmly. tonight something became clear to me, like coming to the end of a fog when it eases up on a long stretch of road. tonight i looked into the future, there in the stars, and i finally figured out a basic truth.
