we were greeting the sun before long
Losing sleep is totally worth it sometimes. It's worth staying up until the sky gets grey instead of black, with 7 people on a bed and the rest strumming away on strings, with cigarette smoke and harmonies in the air, a wide-open window with no screen and giant snowflakes blowing in. It's worth skipping the morning routine for ten extra minutes of closeness in a makeshift floor-bed with friends, then pancakes and bitter coffee before going to a new job and changing in the bathroom. It's worth missing the time asleep to feel the melodies tug at the corners of your mouth until you can't resist smiling and singing along into the night.
