1:27 AM

But have you ever read the words I wrote;

Created months too late and helplessly

Trying to swallow the words caught in my throat,

Pretending I don’t want you desperately.

And have you heard the words slip from my mouth?

The ones I say when I’m too tired to

Fight the things I hate about myself

And the things I have to love about you.

You’ll never care about the words I say,

Something I’ve had to learn more recently.

And yet you make me calm in such a way,

I wouldn’t give you up for anything.

 

Every wish I make includes your name,

Every prayer for you to just feel the same.
