i wish two am was a good time to meet people
to just wander into someone else
who wanders the streets
dreaming with open eyes
gazing at the stars

we could drink cheap coffee
from a corner shop
and talk for hours
about stars and our dreams
until sunrise
when we wander home together
and fall asleep in our clothes
and i don't have to worry about nightmares
or wake up alone

i wish people wandered at midnight
trying to escape the night
by embracing the stars
hunting demons in alleyways
and monsters in silent parks
and we could fight ourselves together
and perhaps together we'd win.
