See You At Midnight

You said

"see you at midnight"

Half-smile hanging on your face

Keys in hand by the doorway

Like you might just float away

Clock hands crawling in circles

Street hum under my skin

Every shadow in the window

Feels like you walking in

See you at midnight

You said it so light

Now every minute aches

Till the numbers turn right

See you at midnight

Replay it all the time

If I wait long enough

Will you really be mine?

Left your sweater on my chair back

Smells like rain and cheap cologne

I've been talking to the ceiling

Like it picks up your phone

Glass of water on the bedside

Untouched

Going warm

Funny how a little promise

Grows into a quiet storm

See you at midnight

You said it so light

Now every minute aches

Till the numbers turn right

See you at midnight

Replay it all the time

If I wait long enough

Will you really be mine?

What if you're late

What if you don't come

Do I kill the porch light

Say we're already done?

Or do I stay here

Shoes by the front door

Heart on the hallway rug

Waiting for one knock more

See you at midnight

You said it so light

Now every minute aches

Till the numbers turn right

See you at midnight

Replay it all the time

If I wait long enough

Will you really be mine?
