Jumbled Thoughts of a Midnight Drive

I haven’t slept much recently, You of all people understand late nights It’s not my fault when I can’t close my eyes Even when my room’s as black as the outside sky. My mind just keeps driving me in circles Driving me insane Around and around like the wheel of a car Driving my thoughts who knows how far But as I race circles around my midnight track There’s one sign that just keeps popping up, Maybe it’s because you texted me r u up? It was right after you told me not to forget your love. And that just has me thinking, forgive my jumbled midnight twists That I don’t know what I mean to you, You say you love me and I’m pretty sure it’s true But what does that mean? That’s what I wish I knew You know what you mean to me, At least I hope you do, the cringy poems I wish I hadn’t sent The places I’m so glad we went The hours writing this I’ve spent, But what is it to you, Am I a thought on your midnight drive? When you think “me” what’s the first word that comes to your mind? When you say my name to others, what colour sits behind your eyes? There’s a lot, I guess What plants remind you of my hair? What’s one thought that you wished I’d share? What’s my favourite place? My favourite taste? And do you care? This is the that pops up at night, When my thoughts race around on their midnight drive, If you call me crazy your definitely right And an answer to my questions? That’ll never arrive. But I guess I just wondered When you think of me, where your thoughts go? And I know you just got your license, so If you wanted to tell me, I guess, just let me know
