I pulled an all-nighter. For an insomniac That doesn't seem like Such a great thing, But there's a difference. Staying up all night Because I can't fall asleep Is immensely different From staying up Because I'm trying not to sleep. And you know that as an insomniac I love sleep Because it's so fleeting Like whispers of wind Slipping through my fingers-- Practically impossible to grasp! And despite this... I pulled an all-nighter Because I was waiting for you.

Confession #6
I pulled an all-nighter. For an insomniac That doesn't seem like Such a great thing, But there's a difference. Staying up all night Because I can't fall asleep Is immensely different From staying up Because I'm trying not to sleep. And you know that as an insomniac I love sleep Because it's so fleeting Like whispers of wind Slipping through my fingers-- Practically impossible to grasp! And despite this... I pulled an all-nighter Because I was waiting for you.
