6. 4 a.m.

when you're awake

in the ungodly hours of the night

do you ever think of me?

do i even cross your mind ?

i know we've been apart for awhile

but can't you see we're both drowning

can't you see that i'm not okay without you ?

can't you see that you're not either ?

i know that you've moved on with her

and maybe i should respect that

but i can't help but feel that the you i knew is still in there

dying to get out

dying for me to take you away from her

to give you a reason to come back to me

or maybe the you i knew wants to stay buried

underneath the new skin you wear

because even if the old you came out

things would never be the same.
