After Midnight

I breathe through cool breezes,
These moments are all I can lend,
I plead with you with folded hands,
O night, please don’t end.

I hate tomorrows and overmorrows still,
Days anew and I’ll have to pretend,
I would rather be in your arms and true,
O night, please don’t end.

I want this time to be mine tonight,
I want to never ever depend.
But morning comes and resets the world,
O night, please don’t end.

Enduring this tiredness just for you,
Without a worry of the ascend,
This dark silence is a great comfort,
O night, please don’t end.

Awake for a forever night,
Now that is what I truly intend,
But promise me this when I slumber on,
O night, please don’t end.
