welcome distraction

It was an ordinary night
I could say of every time
The sun slipped behind the hills
And the sky draped its holy blanket
Over the towering evergreens
Letting in light where the fires burned through
And I often barely notice

If I didn't have you
I would spend more time looking at stars
I would be more familiar with the moon
As she takes her monthly breaths
I would pray to the spheres
And the satellites and the towers
That pulse with a red glow on the highway
And anything that would listen
That I could find precisely you

I almost missed you
In a million different ways but one

I owe everything
To that one way
In which we failed to drift
Obliviously past each other
