23

*It's four in the morning

And I can't sleep.

You're laying next to me,

Back turned,

Dreaming.

 

I have a taste in my mouth.

It's part you,

Part excitement,

Part me,

Part disappointment.

 

And it won't wash out.

 

I kind of want to cry,

But jump for joy

At the same time.

I guess that's growing up.

 

I guess that's living,

And that's learning,

And I'm not really sure of

Anything right now, except

I am sure I want your arms

To hold me tightly.

 

But you're dreaming.*
