You keep my heart busy and my feelings awake. I’m afraid if they sleep I’m going to miss something. I’m watching all the time. I watch the moon come out and I watch the sun go to sleep. I watch your dreams and I ride your train of thought until it crashes into the sea. I could float forever. These are the good awakes. The hours of fog and mist and cold. When I swear I can hear you if I don’t make a sound. If I stand outside I can hear the wishes you made on the stars I couldn’t see. It’s alright I’ll stick to the clock. Everyone else is away but I’m always here. I’m always alive. I’ve been waking up my entire life. I’ve never slept because if I do you’ll be gone when I get back. I waste the nights so I don’t have to live through the days. I’ve become nocturnal so I can watch you sleep. You said you were falling. I wouldn’t let you. It’s not fair to either of us. I’m counting every single second I’m awake. It’s still less than the seconds you’ve been gone.
