It's more
Than obvious
That I
Should go
To bed

I'm getting
Too emotional
Too involved
Too delusional

My life
Really isn't
Over

There IS
A way
This can
Work out

So shush
Calm yourself
Wake up

"In the real life
As in dreams
Nothing is quite
What it seems"

Yes. Sometimes the most

Yes.
Sometimes the most potent moments when you can think truly are in between waking and sleep, so that could be one advantage of staying up late online comtemplating and chatting.
Or rationalizing, as I am apt to do. :)
And since you are writing coherently, I would guess that your life is not over. Two deep breaths, tears, and time are the keys to healing, my friend.
