Cheers

This seems like a good night to end things,

this seems like a good night to start over.

There are fixed thresholds in time,

thresholds you cross without intending to.

After tonight there is no coming back,

after tonight I will be gone.

Darkness is more than the absence of light,

it is solitude, loneliness, longingness.

Brightness is more than the presence of light,

it is freedom from hope, remembrance, nostalgia.

There is always a last time, a last night,

no more waiting, no more delaying.

Cheers to you, to your absence,

to my absence in your life.

Nothing is going to happen tonight, nothing,

and that’s the real tragedy, the real end.
