It’s 2:30 in the morning,
and Anthony Hamilton is singing
the words I was trying not to say.
The room is dark,
but every note finds its way
into the corners of my heart
I’ve spent all day avoiding.
Outside, the world is sleeping.
Inside, old memories are wide awake.
His voice drips through the speakers
like rain through a broken roof,
and suddenly I’m thinking about
people I promised I’d forget.
The silence between songs
hits harder than the music itself.
I stare at the ceiling,
counting regrets instead of sheep,
wondering how someone I’ve lost
still knows the way back to my thoughts.
At 2:30 a.m.,
Anthony Hamilton isn’t just singing—
he’s reading pages
I never meant for anyone to see.
