Hug My Pillow and Fall Asleep Smiling

I can't sleep My mind races and I can't relax. I shiver in the darkness and my nose is cold. I stare at a screen, thumbs poised to pounce, Maybe you think this conversation is getting old. I can't sleep now. As a jingle rings in the silence My heart thumps out of time A tap onscreen to read, then a smile To make me this breathless should be a crime. I don't want to sleep. My thumbs are tapping without my control But they know just what I want to say I picture you smiling in the darkness like I am I wish I could see you the next day I should be asleep now. I type my goodbye seconds later Just for you, a personalised goodbye Burying my nose under blankets I'm so happy that you are my guy I'm falling asleep. A chime in the night, I lift up my phone See the reply, I am breathless once more Lay my head on the pillow, thinking to myself "How was I living without you before?" I hug my pillow and fall asleep smiling.
