Thinking of you late at night

Is the world too sad for you today babe?
I'll be the sunlight, I'll be the laughter and the smile

I'll be the girl on the other end of the phone line,

the girl answering your texts

with weak jokes and joy and love.
Is the world too sad for you today dearest?
I'll sing for you

I'll tell you what you need to hear

I'll listen with baited breath.

Sometimes I wish you would wake up and think of me for a change,

but I know I'm always on your mind soon enough.
Sometimes I wish you would take me away,
because I can't imagine any other place.

Are you feeling all alone?
Is the world too cold to face today?
That's okay.
I've been there too.
We'll stay inside today.
I'll make you tea,

you read aloud,

we'll fight off the grey together love,

keep our toes warm under covers.

Sometimes I wish I was all you saw,

like you when you call me as you're driving home.
Sometimes I wish I belonged to you,

and you'd never let me go too far away.
Because you'd know how much I mean to you,

because you'd know how much you mean to me.
Because we'd know that this might be

The-Be-All-And-End-All.
The,

Hold-Your-Breath-Because-I-Don't-Want-To-Miss-A-Sound.

Since when do I write love poetry?
Since when do I smile like this

at the thought of you

calling me to say
"Goodmorning May! I missed you while we slept."
And why do I think of you

at the oddest times of day?
And why do I grin like that when you text me lines of

"Mayflower, I don't ever want to lose you"

Sometimes I wish it was just that easy.
That we should be, so will be.
Sometimes I wish you could stay here,

or at least I could go with you.
