It is 12:30 am
The lightest times of the night
I'm checking my inbox
And I see that you are online.

I wanted to say "hi"
Or at least can I say that I tried?
I could not.

So, I just shut the phone
And slept away
With dreamy eyes

Dreaming of a day
Of such a day
When I will meet you
And feel you, probably.

I might not have
The same energy
Nor the same enthusiasm
While I acknowledge your gentle presence.

Oh, how I wish you knew
How I felt
Oh, how I wish
That every inch of my pain
Was ingrained in you
But that is just unfair, right?

It is 1:08 now
Silent breezes sway
The ambulance sirens break
The mystical silence of the night.

We will be locked up in our own vicinities
Until one day.
Which will bring us together
In front of each other

And there!
Us fools
Cast in the spell of an awkward silence.

I regret this so much.
Because,
So much to say,
And none to speak.

So let me just sleep with those dreamy eyes, okay?

- Humans are extremely weird.
