I hate to admit that I miss him. I miss the way he touched my shoulders
while he slept. I miss the way his warm breath felt in my hair. I long for
his voice, which lulled me to sleep and chased away nightmares. The sound
of his songs is indescribable. It would take years and years to find a word
close enough name that sound.
But now I lie alone, in the dark, starring at the ceiling. The darkness
feels so cold and lonely. I never thought I could miss sharing my bed.
There was a time, still is true now that I can't sleep in the same room
with anyone. I just can't take those nightly noises while I'm trying to
relax, to sleep. Even the first that he and I fell into bed together, I
smiled at the sound of his light, even breathing, the feel of his guitar-
calloused fingers brushing my skin.
This loneliness is unbearable. I won't sleep again tonight.
