Restless in my bed,
thinking about my regrets.
Stayed awake all night.
Before falling asleep, I pray and then I like to call my boyfriend.
Long distance is hard, and falling asleep is hard without talking to him.
It's not like I will be able to just see him tomorrow.
Every second counts, and trying to sleep without knowing he's ok
is like going to bed without feeding your pet
It's kinda wrong and it kinda haunts you all night.
I toss and turn if I haven't talked to him,
even if it's only for like 10 minutes.
It's my version of a sleeping pill.
I like the idea of connecting with a loved one as your "version of a sleeping pill." And what a great comparison between the unrestful feeling of not connecting to "going to bed without feeding your pet...and it kinda haunts you all night."
ReplyDeleteThis is such an amazing piece! I really relate to this and I know long distance is not easy. I love the way you connected talking to him being like a sleeping pill. I love this!

ReplyDeleteI love this piece! I like the connection it has with the readers. Me and my ex boyfriend (who is my best friend and hopefully we'll soon be together again) know this really well. Long distance is super tough. Good job!!
