sleeping suburban homes
stars and streetlights illuminate the night
i shiver as a cool breeze ruffles my hair
crickets chirp as a single car drives by
i've been here since ten pm
couldn't sleep for a minute.
a tired body with eyes too stubborn to close.
overthinking with nothing to think about.
i wish you were next to me
we'd share a pleasant silence as we gaze upon the night
i'll keep wishing.
my only companions are the stars and streetlights.
