Underneath the night sky

She sat on the porch on a breezy night. It was a Friday night. From the distance she could hear them sing and dance. "Tonight, tonight we are young, tonight tonight we are young, lets set this place on fire, lets set this place on fire, for tonight, tonight we are young." She hummed along to the melody as the universe spun. She sat still. Stuck in a current.
"Hello Reptile!" The friendly odd cat purred softly in the dark night. "why are you wandering these streets this late?". His green glistering eyes looked up at her as she pet him. Puur! Puuuuuur! "oh darling how glad I am to see you" She said with a slight smile. She always smiled slightly.
"She loves me!! She Said She loves me!" A strange voice emerged from across the street followed by an uneasy gasp. "shhh!" "Say you love me!". She listened closely but couldn't follow the rest of the couples conversation.
"Would you like a peice Reptile?". She took a cookie out of the plate that was resting on her lap and dipped it into a mug of warm milk. Reptile was fast asleep at her feet. She took a little bite and put the cookie back on the plate. She wasn't hungry.
Her arms wrapped around her, It was getting colder. She felt her eyes close as she listened to the night. She softly whispered:
"I sat there...
Forever...
Waiting for you to come
For my own selfish reasons.
Only to discover under my tears,
That I had accidentally drowned everything,
Even the sea,
Underneath the Night Sky..."
Her eyes opened. "Good night Reptile..."
