and that is why she always sleeps.
i believe that she finds comfort in her dreams,
because that is the realm she is able to escape her reality.

she can live the life she wanted to,
without any regret of her mistakes,
and be united with her daydreams that haunt her in the daylight.

that is why she always sleeps,
because it is the only thing left she has to rely on.
it is the beauty of a second chance at life for her.

it is her opportunity to rewrite the story,
to live and breathe again without him.

she no longer needs to wait for him.
she was once a person without him,
and now she knows she has permission to be herself again,
even if he never comes back.

she cannot fully accept it,
but she can live, wait, and also start again,
even if he doesn’t return.
let her sleep.
