"I usually can't stand sleeping in warmth

I tear off all my sheets, tossing and turning in my bare skin, flipping the pillow from one side to the other

Back and forth

The fan is on high yet my skin is containing heat, causing my nights well rested to not be achieved

Yet, the nights you chose to end your day by my side, this is simply not the same

I wrap my arms around your waist, body to body, heat to heat we drive each others temperatures higher

I could sleep all night long in these conditions, if it meant I could intertwine your fingers with mine, kiss your lips and say goodnight, close my eyes to match the dark room,
if only it meant I could wake up next to you"
