4 AM

I used to be awake at 4 AM.
More frequently than was healthy for me.
I never expected to become one of those people.
I had always been one to think that being awake at 4 AM is done for no actual purpose.
Rather, as I viewed it then, it's mostly done by people who lack a purpose.
Then the 4 AM conversations came along.
It all just started making sense to me.
The purpose was to stay awake until all participants of the conversation had poured their hearts out.
It was always easier at 4 AM.
To confess that I'm afraid and that I can't make sense of the world.
Indeed, people tend to get pretty talkative at 4 AM.
Provided that something gets them started.
I used to be awake at 4 AM.
But there's no one to keep me awake at 4 AM anymore.
I miss you.
