Midnight is what they will always call it,
and midnight is where they will always go.
Midnight is beyond where someone must be
when someone must be someone alone.
Midnight is where time always stops the traffic,
and the mind downshifts to what can be known.
Midnight is a state of only one mind,
and midnight is where they will always go.
