I AM Sleepy # to be heard

Location

Most times I would go to bed early but not today

tonight, not like any other night, I’m staying awake

And we’re going to dream while walking.

Together

Tonight, we’re going to fly over the moon and touch the stars.

I don't want to sleep

I want you to want me

to stay awake and enjoy each other

company that we share in those single hours

when everybody's sleeping but we’re still walking while dreaming

Together,

screaming serenades and cacophonies of passion

or bliss to communicate basically

Translate us

Unconvertible and unmanageable

Fire and forest

Baby

Or boy

We’re going to burn hot then go cold

The wind blows

Sweat from our skin joins the rhythm

The reality of our dream has not exceeded any speed limits

Ironically, neither have we

We are not done.

Not just yet.

I don't want to sleep

I rather stay awake with you.

And finally,

when sleep comes to mingle with eternity and consume us into its path

We will remain one body. one mind. two spirits swimming in a sea of dreams spiralling around infinity.
