Up all night
Every other day
Just to collapse on the next.
Up until the wee hours
Just waiting for you
Anticipating just another text.
Waiting for something
Expecting the best
But always being let down.
Because your short sentences
That I wait for, so long
Only ever bring me a frown.
So I try to tell you
the way that I feel
But you don’t seem to comprehend.
So I get aggressive
Regret what I say,
and hope that you’ll still be my friend.
You tell me the truth
The whole truth, nothing but
And I cry in the dead of the night
I don’t know if I’ll ever forgive myself
For picking this stupid fight.
I thought of you as perfect
I thought you never made mistakes
Never thought you had problems like I do.
But although you saw right through me
I never tried to see into you.
Maybe you aren’t perfect
But you still light up my world
You make me smile
all of the time
You make my heart twirl.
I could go on for hours
About what I should
And shouldn’t have said
But deep in the dead of the night,
It’s about time I’d go to bed.
