3:55 am

 

the world is asleep

i'm lost in my mind

a collision of reality & uncertainty

 

i lie awake at night

wondering who & where i'll be

today, tomorrow, and the next

 

i am a new person

tattoos mark my skin

ink forever fading into the sun

 

a body of stained glass

pieces of old & new

a collection of memories

 

time is moving fast

it's out of my control

i need to live in the present

 

when will things change?

i've been praying for a miracle

i could use one right now

 

i'm drowning in my thoughts

stuck in a place i've never felt at home

with people i don't even know

 

writing is my escape

this world i've been living in

i want to leave

 

a new country awaits

experiences to be had

from strangers to friends

 

i have goals & dreams & bucket lists

i can't do this alone

i need a hand

 

the red thread of fate

a myth meant for soulmates

someone you meet once in a lifetime

 

at the right time & place

we found each other

intertwined by a butterfly effect

 

8 billion people

only one of you & one of me

why did we meet?

 

from our first encounter until now

i never thought we'd still be here

isn't that incredible

 

after all this time

through the good & bad

you've never left my side

 

thank you for being a part of my life

don't go

please stay
