1:23 AM
Laying in bed,
Counting the popcorn on the ceiling,
A swerve of the head,
Towards the alarm clock,
That reads 1:23 AM,
My heart sinks to my stomach,
My eyelids feel heavier with every passing second,
But the thoughts that fill my head,
Are what's keeping me awake tonight,
Every night,
And the memories of us,
Haunt my once peaceful subconscious,
Flashbacks to our first kiss,
Our first conversation,
Our last conversation,
Loud thumping in my temple,
Forces me to come back to the present,
I try to convince myself to stop thinking,
Just stop thinking,
Let it all fade away,
But obviously it's not that simple,
Nothing in life ever is,
Wisdom gained from the excruciating realization,
That I cannot let you go,
That I am in love with you,
And I know this cycle all too well,
I know that tonight I'll be thinking of you again,
I know that I'll be staring at the clock at 1:23 AM every night,
Until you are mine once more.
