i'm only writing to look busy
because the girl across from me
is typing furiously
and i can see her tired eyes
and her glasses
sliding down her nose
as she tries not to fall asleep
i wouldn't want to be a distraction
sitting here doing absolutely nothing

its 2:42am and the world is asleep
i didn't drink enough water today
my throat sighs
my tear ducts are empty
and there are no more tears to cry

i just want to watch the sunrise
i want to feel your gentle arms around me
and rest my head on your shoulder
as the sun peaks out from beneath the ocean

i want to walk with you
and know your thoughts
i just want to drive
and keep going
down a never ending highway
listening to the comfortable silence

i want to end on a beach
lying on a blanket
and listening to the waves fold over each other
like our arms and legs used to

i want to feel peace

i want to fall asleep right now
but only if it means
i don't have to wake up
