I never thought I’d lay awake,

Thinking about the glowing outline of your face,

Your eyes, your smile, your laugh, your spark

Reflecting and growing through the dark,

And even though I can’t have you yet,

Doesn’t mean I can forget,

That moment when you were mine,

If only for the briefest time,

When nothing ever felt so right,

Thinking in the dead of night.

Memories playing in my head,

Awakening what once was dead,

Laughing at my petty pride,

Showing me what’s really inside,

And I never wanted this so bad,

This thing that I can’t quite have,

And so I’ll wait, I’ll just pretend,

That if you were both lover and friend,

This sleepless, twisted game would end
