Green Dot

It's late.
Tests tomorrow.
I should go to sleep.

I don't.
I was about to, but then
You appeared.

You are
A green dot on my screen
That holds me frozen.

I try
To look away. I am not surprised
When I can't.

You flicker.
I clench my teeth and hope
It was just a glitch.

It wasn't.
You disappear. I sigh
And try to go to sleep.

I don't.
I spend the night awake
And the next day dreaming

Of you.
