I'm staring at my phone and saying

"Message me back, Stupid, before I fall asleep without you"...

As if we fall asleep with each other

Maybe we do and we dream under the same blanket

And use the same foggy pillow

Or maybe the only thing we share

Is the moon

Who doesn't care who shares her

Or Slee

Who doesn't care who falls for him

Maybe the only connections we have

Are the same ones that connect us to total strangers

 

But I don't want that to be true.
