almost 5:00am

its almost 5:00am
i tend to forget

its almost 5:00am
is it too early?
or is it too late?

its almost 5:00am
sleep has wrapped her arms around me

its almost 5:00am
i'm so tired i could scream

its almost 5:00am
i can barely keep my eyes open

its almost 5:00am
i worked all through the night

its almost 5:00am
time to face the new day's light

its almost 5:00am
and i find myself with nothing to do

its almost 5:00am
still i am looking for you

what time of the day
would i stop thinking of you?

would there ever be a minute
without me being reminded of you?

its almost 5:00am
and you're still on my mind

its almost 5:00am
what's a girl to do?

if only i held the sands of time
then every second would define
only the moments we held
only the moments we had

but alas the hour glass
i do not possess
i have nothing
everything to lose
everything to regret

its already 5:00am
lest i forget

its already 5:00am
i am reminded
of the value of sleep
of the price of rest

5:00am has passed
only my heart is awake
everything else longs for death

5:00am has passed
and i long to be beside you
i long to feel you near

5:00am has come and gone
it doesn't matter anymore
only that i thought of you
in hopes that you thought of me too

it will only be after another dusk
it will only be after another dawn
that another 5:00am will come
but it matters not
when i think of you

as my thoughts roam
and my feelings linger
what we can only have is a now
and never forever

just as 5:00am
came and went
so will we
