I Win, You Lose

Remember all those games we played,
when we would txt each other,
Whilst lying here in my bed,
with my betrothed and you another?

Coming back from the party,
the buttons are keenly pressed,
I begin with humorous intentions,
and send you my first txt.

you txt me back so swiftly,
catching me off my guard,
I quickly turn phone to silent,
so as not to raise alarm.

words fly back and forth,
your intention is to win,
to see who can remain awake,
neither wanting to give in.

our partners now sound asleep,
breathing deeper than before,
how I wish, I'd got out of bed
and given you a call.

pausing, waiting for a response,
I foolishly close my eyes,
drink beginning to take its toll,
I sadly fall by the wayside

I awake in the morning,
long after the birds have fed,
only to find two unread txt's
in which the last one said,
I win, you lose!!!
