I'll have some mornings where I'll be off 2, maybe 3 a.m. And I'll find a beach or trail and just ... think. No cars, no people, even the insects are asleep. It's kind of exhilarating, and peaceful at times. Sometimes I catch sunrises.
But I'd trade every last second of it just to be in bed snoozing next to someone.


----
I've made my bed / (taken off my shoes) /
But can't I sleep in yours? /
And dream happy lies /
Of a smile reaching my eyes /
Or of love you wouldn't lose
