nightgown

falling asleep alone
is really a peculiar thing.
sometimes,
it's like feeling an empty space
beside you.
sometimes,
it's easy to have night
-mares.
sometimes,
you can't close your eyes
until someone does it
for you.

falling asleep alone
is not something
to get used to.
it's nice to know
someone is breathing
next to you.

and once you've
known it.
there's no
turning back.
once you've
felt it.
there's no
way
you could ever
fall asleep
alone
ever again.
