Pulling An All Nighter

I pull the covers up to my chin
I think of what you told me
As I stayed up late and cleared my mind
With thoughts of music and lyrics floating through my head
I hear your voice
Ringing through my ears
All the things you said
All the things we laughed about
All the tears I cried
And All the times you listened

You comforted me
When the world turned its back
You listened
When every other person went deaf
You spoke
When you had no ieda what to say
And you held
My secrets and kept them safe

You held my hand
As I stumbled and fell
You picked me up
When I was broken
You sat by me
When I refused to move
And most importantly
You taught me to care

To care for you
To care for my friends
To care for my family
To even care for myself
When I did not know how

And now,
I listen to the early morning sounds
Of birds
And trees
And Cars
And I pull the blanket over my head
Realizing,
That I pulled an all nighter
Just because I was thinking of you.
