I like how I feel at 1 A.M.

I like how I feel at 1 A.M.

…When darkness surrounds my bright screen as I try not to wake up anyone on accident

My eardrums vibrate from sounds of asmr as I lay in bed scrolling and visualizing possibilities

The pillow gently holds my head while I giggle inside as I scroll through memes on Pinterest

Thoughts gather, pile up, and entertain me as they quickly change directions with everything I look at

I can feel my body wanting to copy everyone else and fall asleep- yet I continue staying up because

I like the way I feel at 1 A.M.

For I am enamored by my own company

Wishing for 1 A.M. to last…

And while I’m not yet aware of how the future will be, I continue hoping that the magic in 1 A.M. trickles down into the rest of the day.
