I sit in bed lying lonely
I realize there’s no one here to talk with
To laugh with
Or to cry with
Only the monsters in my head
To remind me I’m still human
I count the glow in the dark stars on my ceiling
For the hundredth time
And think to my self on the brink of sleep
There’s no one here to talk with
To laugh with
To cry with
Because you are the only one I want here next to me
To share these precious moments with
The moments that we all lay in bed
And look out on the passing cars and city lights
And feel so small
I want you here next to me when I take those last few blinks
My eyes so heavy
I want to see your blurry face starring into mine
And everything is a jumbled blur
And then my eyes close for the last time
But right before I fall asleep
I want to feel your fingers drawing pictures of us on my back
And then I wont be so lonely
