I should be sleeping

Yet, you’re on my mind. I think of your eyes, cold, blue spheres that took my breath away. I think of how you spoke, like every word mattered. As if we only had a brief amount of time. I think of how your skin felt pressed against mine, how close we were and yet how truly far apart. I think of the time we spent lying next to one another in the darkness, how content I was in your arms. I think of how our lips met, and how, if I had known it would be our last, I would have kissed you longer. I think about the heartbreak you purposely caused, and still I wish you were here so I could sleep.
