“Why don’t you try lying down, love?”

It’s 2:09 in the morning and I am wide awake.

“I’m having a hard time falling asleep without you.”

If I had one wish,
it would be that the nighttime was as acceptable as the day.
That late night or early morning trysts into the creative landscape
Was as valued and understood as daytime exploration of software development.

“I’ll finish my wine and be right there.”

Mentally patting your hand

And quietly hoping to lull you back into your contentment
That I may stay in mine.
