It's 3 AM & all I want

Is your lips on mine

it's the same as every,

hour,

every minuete,

every second

since I've met you

My tired eyes began to close. I can't sleep. It's just one of those nights where I over think to much & end up thinking about him. I'm such a joke. I'm even writing poems about him. Ugh.

I close my "Poem" notebook & set it on my night stand. Turning off the lamp, I slide into my warm covers & hold on to my pillow as if it's him. As soon as I shut my eyes, my phone starts to vibrate. I grab my phone & see a text message from Ariana. She's one of my close friends.

I then unlock my phone & squint, not being able to read what she wrote. Damn, my glasses are all the way in the bathroom. Psh. Like I have enough energy to get it. I try my hardest & read the best I can. Pausing at each word, I reconize finally what it says.

'Meet me and Alex tomorow at the bar. Got some real important news to tell you! XOXO'

Alex is my bestfriend. He has been since the 2nd grade. Alex & Cara have been going out for about a year now. I have a confession though. Throughout the past years, I've began to feel feelings for him. His face always popping in my head & sceneraios of us holding hands & kissing. It hurt me when they told me that they're together. Although, I faked a smile & went on with life. This actually made me dislike Ariana just a tiny bit. She doesn't know about my feelings towards Alex & neither does he.

I lock my phone & wonder for a second what the news could be. Probably something not that important. I then sneak in underneath my covers & close my eyes, once again. Slowly drifting off to sleep.

Next morning

 

It was about 1:00 pm. I figured it's time to leave to go to the bar. I decide to get dressed & fix my makeup. I head over to the bathroom to do the make up first. I was feeling excitement & anxiousness today, so the dramatic winged eyeliner would be perfect today. Of coarse, I'm not going to perfect it, like always. It's such a pain in the ass.

On my first attempt, the line was crooked.
Maybe if I just add a bit more on to it & make it straight

I think to myself. I apply the eyeliner on top of my messed up line. I groan noticing that it went all over my eye lid, making me look gothic. I just want a nice, cute, & simple wing on my eye. Is that too much to ask for? With one final attempt, I remove the failed line & redo once more. This time, for the first time, of the century, I perfected the line.

I mentally clap & cheer for myself. The final step was mascara. It's simple. what's the worse that can happen?

I grab my mascara & apply to my lashes. Heading over to the other eye, the mascara top hits the bridge of my nose. I quickly smear it with my finger. It's even worse now. I apply water onto my finger & dab on my nose. Not coming off..

I groan & shout in anger.

"What the hell?! Why me?! Why me?!" I yell as I hold my mascara.

I then throw it behind me, somehow, it's nowhere to be seen.
