4:17 am



I dream of you some nights
they aren’t wild or magic
they are simply us existing next to each other
present in a world where we finally work together
I could dream about anything outside the principality of possibility
but it’s you my mind is stuck on
the softness of every moment makes me want to sleep
and bask in the dreams of you.
I tasted the sweetness of strawberry lipgloss upon your lips
and the gentleness of your fingertips
I don’t know how much time I have left
I wish time could slow back and the alarm clock won’t ring
so I can stay with you in this dream
and I hope you’re dreaming of me like I dream of you
