Five Twenty-one

Its now five twenty-one So says the clock by my pen My family all sleeps, but not me At five twenty-one I sit awake and wonder How time does pass me by For is it not just a creation of man? Five twenty-one A time when the sun has yet to rise Though the moon had already more than set At five twenty-one I can see her A figment that might not exist The love I thought I remembered Though if not real, then really imaginary The time, five twenty-one I'm exhausted, my eyes feel heavy But I could no more sleep than I could sprout wings She thought that was funny Even at five twenty-one when she first woke up Does she bring with her the most prominent thoughts of beauty Even so early does she bring with her a light that makes me smile So at five twenty-one I have to ask Is she the figment of my imagination, Or am I the guy she's been dreaming of?
