keep it simple

Don’t be fooled by the moonshine.  The night is young and the night is ours.  I can see you are wary.  I can see the goosebumps beginning to crawl down your arms.  They trickle past your elbow like Plinko chips and I watch with disco ball eyes as if a $10,000 slot sits above your middle knuckle.  Don’t be scared.  Trust me when I say I will protect you.  Trust me when I say I love you.  Don’t be fooled by the moonshine.  Don’t ever give up on a night like this.
