12:43

On nights when I can’t sleep
I imagine I’m with you
I imagine I can hear your heartbeat in my ears
Ringing through my head
Like an early bird call
I imagine your arms like ribbons on a present
Like a cage for all my worries
A haven for my flaws
like I’m still that little girl
sucking her thumb
I imagine I watch you dream of every day
That I’ve never gotten to see
Mama, one day I hope I know what your dreams are,
