It’s 3 A.M. and I’m Thinking of You

Heart Dormido

“I reached for my phone, expecting for your text message. You know that you are my favorite notification right?”

I woke up out of nowhere

Maybe I slept too early than usual

I reached for my phone, expecting for your text message

You know that you are my favorite notification right?

But this time, sadly there’s no “Hey! How are you? Come over!”

Maybe you are sober tonight

Because you only remember to call when there’s influence of alcohol

But if ever there’s a text from you, I’d reply

And if you respond, I’ll be there

Just in case you tell me that we can still chill

Because we used to sleep this late before

I can’t believe how we managed to

I switched to my Spotify and played songs about 3 A.M.

Every beat reminded me of you

I tried to read the thread of our conversations

I guess I miss those days

The days when we would disregard sleep

Just to spend time with each other

The days we would gladly stay late and fight the yawns

I guess everything changed now

But what never changed is the way that I think about you

I’d like to think of you as someone who will always linger in my mind

Whether I like it or I like it

“You’re the reason that I lie awake.”

“Baby if I could tell you how much I care, I’m in despair, are you still there?”

It’s almost 4 A.M.

But you’re still in my mind

I thought you’re just a 3 A.M. thought but you are more than that, definitely

I’ll try to sleep, hoping tomorrow I’ll spend my 3 A.M. with you

Eating junk food, watching movies, or simply listening to songs

I hope you sleep soundly over there

Despite of me thinking of you tirelessly

Now let me go back to sleep

Good night.

It’s 4 minutes to 4 A.M., let me replay the 3 A.M. song.

Heart Dormido

I followed my heart and it led me to the tip of my pen. Can I call myself a writer now?
