Say Hello To Me

Strobe lights passed their bodies as they spun around and around.
Her wet hair whipped in the face as she twirled.

Street lights turned on as they stepped outside.
The broken bulbs flickered to the beat of their steps.

Puddles from the recent rain infected the streets and potholes roared with water running underneath.

Buildings were moist and sweaty as the headlights bounced off of them.
Rust formed and paint was peeling with every loose raindrop from the gutters above.

The steel emergency door closed behind them without a sound.
Party goers disabled the alarms for their quick exits.

She clung onto his arm even though they were trapped in his pockets.
Like instinct, he handed her his jacket as she shivered.

After many small laughs and staring sessions, he pressed her up again the wall using his jacket as her protection from the building's dew.

His forehead rested on hers.

"Let's go the car."

Her soft voice barely carried through out the alleyway, but he could still hear her.

As they left the alleyway, the moonlight brightened up their cold faces. Shadows cast to the lamppost and the distant coffee shop across the street.

Though it was dark, the night warmed them.

They fell asleep in the back of his car, staring out the sunroof at the endless stars that resembled endless people and endless possibilities.
