[00:00.000]Welcome to the Late Night Tales story – Undone
[00:04.820]Written by Anam Sufi, read by David Tennant
[00:12.040]Here is the truth. Exactly how I remember it
[00:15.370]And perhaps in being so, it is inevitably undone
[00:21.260]Here when the hour is late and the bottle long gone
[00:25.090]Where thoughts like constellations blur in and out of focus
[00:29.630]Nothing more than buoyant memories
[00:31.910]Acquiesced melancholy
[00:33.510]The shoreline recedes into darkness, betraying grains of the past
[00:39.360]They catch light of the moon
[00:42.050]Giving song and sparkle to this late night tale
[00:46.130]Here's the truth, I swear
[00:49.450]Word for word, picking through a pile of sedimentary emotion
[00:53.660]The crackle of fire, the cold in my bones
[00:58.270]And the pitter-patter of rain takes me back
[01:01.080]Echoes of footfalls crushing fallen leaves
[01:04.930]All that's left of the yellow wood racing back in time
[01:08.680]Back to where it all started
[01:10.790]The beginning of the end
[01:14.620]We'd set up camp between risk and consequence
[01:19.450]Reckless in the way that only youth can know
[01:21.900]Our hearts of cursor, pulsing, eager to forge the story of our lives
[01:29.500]There was no such thing as a photo without flash
[01:32.470]A song without bass or too much faith in the future
[01:36.390]Little did we know
[01:40.430]What happened over, what is felt is of little consequence
[01:45.590]The sheer impact remaining impervious to desire
[01:49.380]You to me, a hem caught by a hook in time
[01:54.800]Inexplicably attached
[01:56.920]Like the dead weight subscription of newspaper in a digital world of click stories
[02:01.110]And short glass love affairs
[02:03.590]The orchestra of our past carries on listlessly
[02:08.560]Erratic, yet somehow segued, like time
[02:14.950]And all of our choices embalmed incubate the senses
[02:20.010]The smell of your skin
[02:21.940]The sound of your breath
[02:24.340]The question mark curve in your ear
[02:28.310]Now these seem hollow, like the nape of your neck
[02:32.680]Where once I touched and felt you
[02:36.110]Alas. Remember the end, outside the Admiral
[02:42.840]I inhaled
[02:44.970]I exhaled
[02:46.720]Reflecting
[02:50.150]I didn't notice you arrive but you stood there alongside me as the rain fell down
[02:55.460]I don't think this was a good idea, I said
[02:58.980]Lying
[03:00.810]You shuffled your weight on both feet
[03:03.750]And I knew you wanted to say something
[03:05.980]I didn't let you
[03:08.120]And you disappear like mist suspended in sight
[03:11.390]Betrayed by my grasp
[03:14.990]How I wish I'd run after you and said
[03:18.350]"Hold me like you would a photograph, from the edges and lightly"
[03:23.320]Because anything more and I'll be stained
[03:27.060]Sullied by the desire of what would always and inevitably leave me undone
