it's not a big deal
but when you close your eyes
you see an old road and you try to summarize
your past and future and distance in between
forever young but
forever in a dream
you walk out just to hear the song of blackbirds in the sky
and it still reminds you
how the purple sky was glowing and the city lit the lights
and it overflows you
and you are trying
and you are trying to deny it
it's not a secret
that right before the dawn
the clouds are darker
and all the stars fall down
you sit and wait for your time to catch the sun
to face the wind and refill
what's been and gone
you walk out just to hear the song of blackbirds in the sky
and it still reminds you
how the purple sky was glowing and the city lit the lights
and it overflows you
and you are trying
and you are trying to deny it
