Next to you
I slow my breathing
To memorize the rhythm of yours,
Which calms me from the memory
Of nightmares
I was always
The first person awake at the sleepover;
Maybe one or two girls awoke
But everyone returned to rest with ease
Except me -
I've long been looking for things to fill those spaces
Between sleep and wakefulness ;
I had never considered
Writing to you
