It is midnight
And I am wide awake
I fell asleep for half an hour
But then woke up

I don’t know if it’s from the three bottles of Pepsi
The bag of Muddy Buddies
Or peanut butter Snickers
But I feel alive
More alive than I feel in the daylight

I don’t know if it’s from sheer joy
Of feeling loved,
And loving towards my amazing and perfect boyfriend
Or the feeling of belonging
But I feel alive
More alive than I feel in the daylight

My window shade is open
And I’m staring at the stars
Glimmering, shimmering, twinkling stars
And I feel happy
I feel alive
More alive than I feel in the daylight

Because I’m awake at midnight.
