Insomniac [Love] Letters

By Rachel

I can't sleep [him out of my mind]
but I'll keep trying,
Because I'm terrified (of [not having] him.)

I miss him when he's far
love him when he's near
and I swore I'd never be this

this girl,
can't.eat.can't.sleep.can't.stop and I'm falling
and
I [don't] want this to end.

There's just something about the way he looks at me
leaves me gasping for air
and something about the way he touches me
Leaves me always.wanting..more...


...How easily it has been
to become a cliche.

But it feels so fucking right.







THIS is where I'm supposed to be.

    Amen. I appreciate how you put this into words. I was in this situation a while back but could not describe it.

    Familiar. This piece was so simple and natural. I'm with you. I just feels right.
