[03:22] I like the silence
[03:22] and I don’t like using my voice this early
[03:22] it feels like the first words I speak break some form of...
[03:23] shadowed pact of silence
[03:23] like the whole world is holding its breath in this hallowed pre-dawn
[03:23] and the first words to echo across the land will shatter such perfect serenity forever
[03:23] like once you break the barrier of speaking
[03:24] you can never get it back until the Earth once again turns and all it's creatures pass into slumber again
[03:25] Destroying such a guarded moment of peaceful respite for the planet seems like... a grave injustice
[03:26] and I despise taking part in such a raping of the graceful moon-lit morning
[03:26] Like an arrow being drawn in a bow, everything seems to just be poised on that hair-trigger
[03:27] the whole world waiting, anticipating that first little tug of speech
[03:27] to unleash the entirety of the day upon us all
[03:27] like if we do not speak, the world does not spin
[03:27] and we can stay in this moment forever
[03:27] this holy of silences, just you and me...
[03:28] like this is the one singular moment between the perfection I so hungrily seek
[03:28] and the chaos of humanity and the onslaught of the rest of the day
[03:28] In this earliest of moments,
[03:29] the first of the day where I can just sit on my little piece of starry-skied heaven,
[03:29] I am happy,
[03:29] I am content
[03:29] I feel all of Earth's heartbeat pulsing in the silence,
[03:29] beating in time with my own rhythm
[03:29] I feel your heartbeat
[03:29] soft and welcoming
[03:30] embracing me in a mutually accepted moment of pure euphoria
[03:31] I can feel your love enveloping me completely because there is no other event occurring on this planet
[03:31] the world sleeps,
[03:31] and you and I are the only ones alive
[03:31] and you and I are the only who matter
[03:31] I will not break this perfectly-encased night
[03:32] I will not welcome that chaos of dawn into our lives
[03:32] into this miniscule slice of perfection we share right here,
[03:32] right now
[03:32] ...
[03:32] Okay maybe...
[03:32] But only for one thing, and one thing alone,
[03:33] Only one reason could ever possibly be worth losing that tensed feeling
[03:33] the feeling of overwhelming rapture
[03:33] Only one thing could ever matter more than sharing one moment forever with you,
[03:33] "I love you"
[03:34] And so welcome Chaos
