3AM Tales is a poem written by The Brave Slayer and shared with The Ugly Writers under the theme Intrusive Thoughts for the month of May

For a moment, we were the saddest people we know.
And somehow the only happiness we found was
being beside each other, talking and laughing..
until it was 3 in the morning.
We knew it wasn’t right.. whatever feelings we had.
“Do you like how you feel?” he asked me.
I pressed my lips. I thought for a moment.
“Someone needs somebody at some point..
Whether it is with the right or wrong person.” I answered.
His lips curved into a smile. Then kisses my forehead.
Aahh yes.. THIS is exactly what I need!
The window was cracked open.
There was a cold breeze in the room.
His arms were warm enough though, and for the first time in a long time, I had the most peaceful sleep.
