3 a.m., so we meet again. You’ve been a familiar face lately. What have I been doing this time, that has so surely led to this fateful meeting? Transcribing an endless interview recording? Perhaps cramming French verbs into my brain would more accurately describe it? Or, better yet, having an alternative conversation in my head with someone I’d spoken to earlier that day? Whatever it may be, 3 a.m.,  I know you will be ready to greet me with that warm, buttery smile.

He loves you too, dear reader; just look at that sideways 3 and you will see it. See his puckered lips blowing you a kiss? 3 a.m. loves everyone. He wants you to stay up that extra hour while you re-watch Friends episodes you’ve seen a quadrillion times and scroll mindlessly through Instagram. He loves you so much that he’s willing to let you go, and send you off in search of your true soulmate, 4 a.m. So keep scrolling, late night lover, until you’re in the strong, welcoming hug of 4 a.m., your one true love.
