cause I don't wanna be your friend

Folder: 
2020

touch my heart when you miss me.

give me one more word.

one word that can compete with every letter

I’ve ever thought about writing to you.

 

what is sleep anyway?

besides time passing in a place we can’t be seen

balconies, fingertips,

things we shouldn’t be doing.

 

what is sleep anyway?

cause I don’t wanna be your friend

 

you can tell me something’s wrong

but I don’t know wrong from right

 

just that the timing of my heartbeat

gave me away

 

and now I can’t tell time

without your hand on my wrist

your taste in my mouth

 

let me love you like I have always wanted to love the world

let me write for you like I can’t think about anything else

let me be here and not have to keep wondering what it’s like

 

what is sleep anyway?

besides time passing in a place we can’t be seen

long drives, longer sunsets,

forevers we can’t define.

 

what is sleep anyway?

just the cover of darkness for

things we shouldn’t be doing.

 

what is sleep anyway?

cause I don’t wanna be your friend
