That Good Night

And so she fell sleep into that good night,
Where dreams were promised to come true,
Where attention deserved was granted,
Where soul was more important than what was on the outside,
Where she could run without being chased,
Without pressure breathing down her neck.

Where some would say she took the easy way,
Others would say that took the real courage.

And while she flowed away in her dreams,
she flowed away in his.
While her thoughts lied elsewhere,
she lied in his.

While she ran away,
He tried to follow her,

Where he felt pathetic for chasing her,
others felt it was a lost cause as well.

He felt a taste of jealousy as well as an understanding.

And left her alone to do her running.
