Dear 12:31,

This is the latest I've stayed up in awhile-
By choice.

Worries hushed-

I write to you.
And ask you

Not just for love-
But Love that takes your breath
Away
After the dance
On a cold night.

That wraps you up
With sighs
And the beating of one's heart.

Soft breaths-

No words.
Just a whisper between lips...

And stars.
