This king size bed is way too big to be sleeping in alone, although I’m not tossing and turning without you. I’m actually sleeping quite soundly now. When you were here we stayed up all night. And not just the sex kept us up, but the long hours of conversation followed by intense make-outs and spooning didn’t necessarily help me get much sleep. Then when I finally would pass out, it seemed like just minutes later your alarm clock would go off and it was time for you go to school or work again, but not without some more amazing morning sex before your coffee. “Fuck it”, I’d say. “I’m up now, why go back to sleep? The day is new, and the early bird catches the worm.”
I wonder how your sleeping now? You never were one for partying, so your probably in bed at a reasonable hour unlike me. I can’t believe how many “likes” you got on facebook when you changed your relationship status to “single.” I’m sure your friends are happy to see you again, you always seem to abandon them whenever you meet someone new your sleeping with they’d say. I missed your calls the other night because the music in the club was way too loud. You missed mine because of all the studying you have to do for these college exams. The “Sleep Well” text’s we sent each other just don’t seem as real as hearing each others voices before bed. I can’t deny it anymore, I miss you.
The girl sleeping in my bed now keeps me up at night again, but not in a good way. She tosses, turns, and kicks in her sleep like you always told me I did. I guess I know how it feels now. She can’t kiss me the way you could, in fact, we hardly kiss at all. The sex is still great though, but hey, you taught me alot of tricks to use. I can only imagine the pleasures that the guy sleeping with you now is feeling, although he’s probably not getting much sleep. I see your friends at the club all the time now and they tell me how happy you are, but they wish you’d just stay single for more than a month’s time.
The more I think about you now, the more I can’t sleep. Yet whenever we were together, the more I couldn’t sleep. But hey, who needs sleep when we’re together anyway?
