My lids lay heavy upon my eyes.
Nestled in my bed,
not a light in the room,
yet I stay awake.

How can I be in great comfort,
but be uncomfortable at the same time?

Tonight the coldness of the sheets
give me chills.
So much room, I feel like my mattress never ends.
As lovely as my bed is,
I toss and turn,
pondering what would help my slumber.

It's you.
For when you are spoiled by the presence of their warm body next to yours when you lay down to sleep.
