3am

3am and I felt it. That bite in my stomach. A thump in my chest like drums on a stage.
The longing setting deep into my bones the way water seeps into a sponge, filling every vacant space.
Your face, glittering behind closed eyelids, sparkling like precious jewels, though your value is second to none.
If I could, I'd hold you to me forever, clutch you tight and constantly breathe in your essence

Feel you skin hot against mine, our bodies trembling with want and anticipation. Us. Just us.
Being what we always hoped we'd be and nothing less.
Knowing that even if it was only for a little while, it was worth it.
And although it wasn't perfect, it settled every desire of you in my heart,
Fed my need and then washed it out the way teenage hearts do.
