Still Not Asleep

It’s 1 AM and I lay awake

trying to shake
The Feeling

that you thought about me today.
It’s 1:16 and I remember
all the times
I’ve seen you look at me
like I was something to be treasured.

All the times I remember
You

making

me

laugh.
It’s 1:21 and I stay awake

trying not to dream about your face

because I know that will just make it harder.
At 1:24 I heard your voice in my head

and I can’t think

what it said


cause I’m trying so hard

to forget.
It’s 1:30 now

And I still don’t know how


You have this much power over me.
It’s 1:31 and I’m falling asleep successfully.
It’s 1:38

and I’m trying to wait


until my mind lets go




of the idea
of wanting you.
It’s 1:41 and I let myself slide

into the memory of your arms


Because I’ll never get to sleep now.
Now it’s 1:42

and
I



still




Miss

You.
