And I am still awake

At night I lie next to you your body heavy under the covers your breath slow and steady eyes moving in their sockets like marbles I think you are dreaming about one of the thousand things I never knew about you because you never told me And me I am restlessly awake counting past regrets on cracks in the ceiling they loop trough my head over and over When it dawns I am tired and stretched thin eyes and heart equally heavy I want tell you all about it but I can only bring myself to whisper your name And you are fast asleep
