Sleepless Nights

I can't sleep at night I seem to be kept awake With thoughts of you running through my head Questions race across my mind What if? What would have happened if I had done something different? Was it something I did? Was it something I said? One year of this sleepless abyss I crave sleep I long for it Yet it does not come Just to get your face out of my head For your laugh still rings in my ears Counting to a hundred more than twice Singing myself to sleep None of it works I feel lost And confused inside Like there is something missing Something I can't get back Something I will never get back Is this feeling the feeling of true love? Love so strong it keeps me awake for countless hours at night? Sleep won't come All because of you My loyalty must be greater than I thought Because I am still hung up on you Even after a year has passed
