I need you to understand something. I wrote this for you. I wrote this for you and only you. Everyone else who reads it, doesn’t get it. They may think they get it, but they don’t. This is the sign you’ve been looking for.
You were meant to read these words.

The Bed Of Clocks
I never slept that well next to you. But at least I slept.
While you snoozed away, I never even slept when you stayed over, when you were pushing me out of my tiny bed... More than you could know, I'm glad to have my tiny bed to myself again and that I don't have to suffer for what you lazily called "love." I feel I have someone now who will fall sleep with me, and that is worth so much more.
I never slept well next to him, but I'd give up almost anything just to experience one more of those sleepless nights again. Resting my head on his chest & listening to his heart beat all night was worth more than any amount of sleep to me.
Goddamnit, this sums up my feelings right now so well. We've been apart for over a month now but getting to sleep each night is still such a struggle :'(
He can be grumpy when he's tired and he snores, loudly. I'm a late sleeper, (sleep & wake up late) he's an early riser. He knocks out the second he hits the bed, I am restless for about an hour. Even still I can't imagine anything better or more comforting than falling asleep in HIS arms.
As an insomniac who only gets to sleep easily if someone else is in the room, this really resonates with me today. As always, thank you Iain.
ReplyDeleteLooove the picture today, Jon.

I can relate to this 100%. Insomnia is one of the worst things I've ever head to deal with.

ReplyDeleteI started the day reading this and felt completely irrelevant.
ReplyDeleteI ended the day feeling exactly like this.

ReplyDeleteTakes my breath away, like beauty in its simplest, untouched form always does......
ReplyDeleteIain, you nailed this one today. It took the breath out of my chest.
ReplyDeleteI never slept because I knew I didn't belong there.
