I miss sleeping
the way you miss the stars
when the sun rises

I miss dreaming
the way you miss the sun
when the night comes

I miss the morning
the way you miss the moon
when the day comes

I miss being awake
the way you miss being asleep
when your alarm rings

My drooping eyelids
are your crossed fingers
as you blow out the birthday candles

Are you asleep?
I'd tell you my wish
but I don't want to jinx it
