You looked like God, with nothing but moonshine and a dark sky behind you.
Your body stood tall against the wind.
I lay looking up at you, feeling as though I'm shooting through all of the empty space towards the universe.
Gravity was non-existent, there was nothing to keep me on earth.

I am earth.

As we looked over the city it felt as though we were looking down at the world.
The world exists for only that moment.
Everything that's happened since the beginning has influenced time to fall exactly into place;
and its only purpose-

to make that night possible.

I accepted death and the end to all existence.
I waited for buildings to crumble, for the ground to break in two.
Every piece and every second of this time was real, the most real emotion I've ever experienced.
Today and everything following is false.

Waking up came as a shock.
I lost a part of myself last night, but perhaps I've gained something greater.


We simply exist.

"There are some days where i believe i might die of an overdose of satisfaction"
