I Stayed Awake


You made me feel like a teenager
Falling in love for the first time
I stayed awake, with a knot in my stomach
Thinking beautiful thoughts
Of you and I, loving each other forever

You weren’t mine, but I loved your laughter
Your laughter spoke to my soul,
I stayed awake listening to its message
Willing myself to sleep in the wee hours of night
And yet, you weren’t mine

I played Trey Songz’s song
A thousand times
Because I thought ‘I couldn’t help but wait
‘I didn’t wanna come between you and your man
Even though I’d treat you better than he could’

You are still out there
Breathing the same air
But in seemingly different hemispheres
Yet your laughter is what my heart still hears
