Want to Talk About Aliens with Me?

Does anyone want to stay up and talk about aliens with me?
Or how about shooting stars?
Or the fact that no one cares.
About the aliens.
Or the stars.

How about we talk about whether or not the sky is blue,
Or how the constant change of nature is affecting you.

Let's talk about the here and now.
Instead of blabbering about what happened 100 years ago,
Or what might come your way tomorrow.

Let's laugh until the day breaks.
Or until silence drowns everything out.

Let's talk about the tears you cry.
And the words you scream.

Let's talk about your fears.
You know, the fears I’m talking about.
The ones that keep you up at night.
Gripping your pillow in fear until the sun rises again.

Let’s talk about the whys, the how comes, and the what ifs.

I want to know what your favorite color is.
And don't you dare say blue.
Tell me it's aqua, cerulean, or maybe even periwinkle.

Tell me why you're damaged.
And then tell me how you can change.
Or tell me why you can't.

I want to hear your favorite song.
Wait. That's too easy.
Show me the song that gets your mind right.
And the one you listen to when your pain is too much to take alone.

Tell me about your dreams.
And tell me why you've given up.

Tell me what you want to do before you die.
And tell me how you've changed in the past year.

Let's talk about anything.
Let's talk about everything.
Because everyone seems to be talking.
But no one is saying shit.

Lay under the stars with me.
Lay under the stars with me and tell me what your spaceship would look like.

Let's talk about what you wanted to be when you grew up.
And then tell me why that changed.
Was it because you grew up or because you realized being a princess wasn't the best job for you?

Tell me about your first love.
And then tell me about how they broke your heart and why you were never the same.

I want to stay up all night with you.
I want to hear you speak for hours.
I want the mundane feelings of reality to go away.
I want to live among the stars.
