The Middle of the Night

Its 12am and i cant go to sleep 

I was born too stubborn to admit defeat 

Your face came to mind as i laid back down 

And wondered how the hell i came to town 

I came to a place where i found you 

And we fell in love out of the blue 

I picked my phone but placed it back

Remembering the sky and its shade of black 

 

Its 1am and I'm thinking about our first date 

When i held the hand of my forever soulmate

I remember looking at your chocolate brown eyes

And the unusual presence in my stomach of a hundred butterflies

I examined your silky soft hair, the color brunette

As you held me close when we watched the sunset

One last thought crossed my mind 

Until I closed my eyes and left it behind 

 

It’s 2am and I woke back up 

Smudging my hair and even my makeup 

My eyes got watery as I thought about us

And the time you told me we have something to discuss

You pulled me aside and whispered to me 

Something softly down on one knee

I admired my shiny new promise ring

And the final days of our summer fling 

 

Its 3am and i heard my phone ring

I quickly rolled over adding a slight spring

I picked up the phone and and i heard your voice 

My body reacted and become rejoiced 

I asked what was wrong and the line went silent 

Wondering for a minute if you suddenly went violent 

And then you answered saying you couldn't fall asleep 

Because you were up all night hoping to hear me peep
