Intro

12 or 1 AM, on the dot, is now on the clock

I awake on the couch, ouch

Feels like I’ve had a smile for quite a while

Or, should I say a grin

Either way, my face aches again

Looks like another one of those days again

3:05 comes just in time just for me to see you in my thoughts once again

And to myself I thought damn

I haven’t had any sleep since 12 o’ clock

So I rise to glance at my window

And to my surprise

My eyes stare at the skies that have changed from dark blue to light

Silly right?

I mean, for me to think staying awake all night is alright

5:30, my cheeks still hurting

Because I was flirting, with you

Well, in my head

While the world was in bed, instead I lay awake

And stay awake, because you couldn’t stay away

From me

6:43, its hot

Sweat drops from my head to my socks

I walk to the bathroom and, it’s even hotter

Cold water fills the empty wrinkles in my hand

Dry, now wet

I remove the sweat with a splash

My hand and my face clashes

I look up to see you in the glass

I start to breathe heavily as I see your reflection instead of me

And then I gaze in the direction of your reflection to see

Pure perfection… then stop

To see 7 o’ clock

When will it stop? When, will it stop

Do I want it to stop?

That’s the question I dread

When will my head stop this production of thought of you?

8:02, the sky is now light blue and

The clouds are in sight too and

I still miss you

And as much as I would like to let you know what you do to me

You have me awake from 1 to 2, 2 to 3, truthfully

I can’t, I’m not ready

10 o’ clock of course, my brother is playing video games

Grease spraying from the pan of cooking ham, my mom with the book in hand

Other brother is still in bed, dad at work

And I’m in the shower

Trying to pretend that I slept for at least an hour

Eyes blood shot red, pain in my head

Out the shower I see your name spelled neatly on the same mirror

Am I insane?

Or is it just my mind playing games

Fresh and up for breakfast, eat

Then I break fast for work

Just a cashier and... (?)

12 o’ clock, and what?

You’re still in my thoughts
