[Staying up till Dawn] Darkness fills the room Not a speck of golden in sight Feeling slightly scared Not knowing if someone else is there Wanting to sleep, yet being too nervous The hesitation in my eyelids So tired, yet can’t close Suddenly I feel it I feel it Yes, I do The presence of something else It frightens me at first Yet, it feels familiar I see their footsteps Those little specks of light They’re coming closer Yet, I’m not afraid The presence brings me peace They come up beside me I’m not even startled This familiar thing comforts me The room has become lighter I can almost see them
