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.
