2:40 am II

2:40 am
i wake up a mess
picturing your hands
at the hem of my dress
waiting again
for the warmth of your touch
2:40 am
i'm remembering too much

it's 3:20 am
and i'm sweltering in heat
my loud mind is racing
and so are my feet
kicking these blankets
and trying to sleep
3:20 am
and you're still breaking me

and it's 4 am
and i'm wishing for you
in love with the littlest
things that you do
i'm hoping we'll break
that promise we made
4 am
i don't think it's too late
