Nighttime

Two nights ago
I woke up at 1.30am and stayed awake
For an hour or so

Last night
I woke up at 4am
And stayed awake for an hour or so

There's something about that time of the night
When you drift in and out of sleep
That feels good and safe and right

My mind slows down so I need not think
My body settles against the mattress and pillows
And the world around me slowly fades out of existence

Nothing else matters in those moments
There is no one else
Just me
