Tic-Toc

December 23, 2013

At 11:32 PM I stopped your tears

You stopped screaming her name

You stopped calling for Death

At 1:14 AM you called me "baby"

You asked me if I was blushing

I called you "love"

At 2:44 AM I told you I liked the way you said my name

You told me you loved me

I told you I knew

At 2:58 AM I asked if you remember the first time we kissed

I told you I loved you

You told me you knew

At 4:23 AM you stopped my tears

You reminded me that you felt guilty too

We agreed on someday

At 5:19 AM we agreed to never talk about tonight again
