[ WP ] `` I do n't sleep . '' He/She said .

I was up every night texting her. I never went to sleep until she did. Because all I wanted to do was talk to her. To feel like she was with me. To see her name on my screen. To think she wanted to talk to me too. 
 
 Sometimes she would ask me why I always was up so late. I would make something up. Something about how I liked to play on my phone. About how I had trouble sleeping. About how I was feeling a bit sick. Anything besides the truth. The truth that when she fell asleep without responding I felt like I had lost something from and had to go to sleep feeling empty. 
 
 Maybe I should have told her. Maybe she should have known. But it does n't matter anymore. She has fallen asleep for good and I'm left feeling empty. I'm sure it will pass. I'm sure I'll outgrow this naive and immature part of my life. But I ca n't help but miss it. Her name never pops up on my phone anymore simply to say hi. That's all I want. One more hello. 
 
 I do n't sleep. Not anymore. Not without her.
