It’s too late to sleep
The clock keeps breathing
The room is darker than my thoughts
Your name is louder than the rain
I said I’d be okay by now
But 4AM feels the same
My phone lights up then fades to black
I don’t even check the time
Every memory hits slow
Like it knows I’m still not fine
It’s 4:17 AM
And I’m talking to the ceiling again
I don’t miss you, I just remember
How it felt when it didn’t hurt
4:17 AM
Your silence sleeping next to me
If this is what moving on is
Then don’t wake me up, please
The city hums outside my door
Like it knows I’m still awake
I hold my breath between the beats
So my heart doesn’t break
No tears left, just empty space
Where your voice used to stay
I don’t pray, I don’t pretend
I just let the night replay
It’s 4:17 AM
And I’m losing track of when
I stopped waiting for your call
And started missing nothing at all
4:17 AM
The rain keeps things honest here
If loving you was healing
Why does it still feel near
Maybe this is closure
Maybe it’s just quiet
I don’t need answers
I just needed silence
4:17 AM
No goodbye, no end
Just a feeling that stayed
Longer than it should’ve been
4:17 AM
If you ever think of me
I’ll be here doing nothing
Learning how to breathe
The rain stops
I don’t
