I can't sleep.

📩
What's up?

I'm up. I can't sleep.

If I could, I would sing you to sleep.

I can't hold back my smile. Even though this boy isn't Shawn Mendes, he's really sweet.

📨
That's actually the cutest thing someone has said to me in a long time.

[I sent the message before thinking about it any longer. My gosh, hopefully he doesn't overinterpret this.]

📩
So... no charming boyfriend who tells you you're his sunshine?

📨
I don't know why I'm answering this, but nope.

📩 (2)
I don't know why I'm smiling now, but okay.

Will you go to one of the Shawn Mendes concerts near your hometown?

📨
I definitely want to.
But I don't have tickets, 'cause back when I had tix, my best friend and I had a big fight, and she told me she didn't want to go anymore, so... I sold her ticket and mine too.
A day later, she called me to apologize. But that was way too late, everything was sold out. That, of course, offered a lotof fighting potential again.

Very sad story.📩

I'm crying now. Just joking!
That's of course terrible.
The Mendes Army surely is in a hurry when it comes to ticket sales.

Will you go?
(Why am I asking? You will be on stage, of course, and perform. Haha.)

It's actually so sad that you don't believe me at all. What do I have to do for you to finally believe me?

Tix for Shawn Mendes in concert in Toronto?

Of course! That's a great idea. I have to say, it crossed my mind too, but I didn't want to seem creepy by asking out of the blue for your address.

Consider it done.

I'm writing a song,
do you wanna read a bit of it?

📩
Just a bite.

Hahaha.
Okay, here we go.
I'm a bite nervous—normally, I don't have that much direct interaction when it comes to sharing one of my songs. But okay, here we go.

📝
If you said
You would leave me now
I wouldn't be surprised'
Cause I always knew and I always know
That now you may stay, but one day you'll go

If you told me
That you have someone new
I wouldn't stop seeing the good in you
'Cause it's always my own worth I evaluate low, and it's always your own wealth that's more important to you

📩
Wow.

📨
What kind of wow is that? Wow, that's bad? Wow, that's so bad, Shawn-wannabe left the chat?

It's a "wow, that's good." That's really good.
I like the plot twist with the "I wouldn't stop seeing the good in you."
It's really deep.

Really?

Really. Thinking about it more—I know you did, I'm sorry—it's a statement that many people can relate to.

Can you relate to it too?

Yes I can. But with a less bitterness than in the next verse.

I'm not sure about the "you" at the end. It doesn't fit perfectly into the rhythm.

But it does fit perfectly with the content. Do you sing your songs, too? I mean, do you already have a melody?

Yeah, I do, but sometimes I don't find the right melody. Then I just put it into my ideas box and get it out when I get some inspiration.

I do have one.

Oh, really? Would you play it for me?

Not today, but maybe another time—as long as you don't stop writing to me.

I can't promise that.

But I promise you that I won't ever get tired of reading your songs.

Stop it, stop it.

No, for real.

Okay, then, I promise I won't ever get tired of hearing your honest feedback. Even though at the moment it's only compliments. But yeah.

What I'm tired of is that I'm tired (even though that was exactly what I wanted a few minutes ago). Why do we all have to sleep that much and that often?!

Good question, smooth transition. Makes me think of "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?"

If you really were Shawn Mendes, I would ask you if you know Billie Eilish.
But for now: good night, Wanna-bee. :)

Good night, my Wattpad girl.

Too cringe. Way too cringe.

Okay.
Good night, Jane Doe.

Good night again, Shawny-🐝 :)
