No

Our middle of the night conversations
they get me through a day
and I can't let my heart break
unless yours is breaking too

I make tears that beg
I make a fool of myself

And in the middle of the night
You're warm and sensible
not allowing my heartbreak
But I need that around me

In the morning
it will be more ok

still

I can't help wondering
Can one be too sensible?
About our son?

You're just too damn right
And I am just too Momma
I'll think on this
then we'll fight....
