Reasons not to think at night.

I remember when we laid together just looking into each others eyes. Not saying a word but mutually feeling the electricity burning a hole in the bed between us.
I longed to pull you close, embrace.
But fearing I would change this moment, I didn't.
I refused to close my eyes in case you would disappear. This is the memory I hold on to, because eventually I did close my eyes and you were gone.
