from "sleepless"

you will never know
the nights i spent
     wishing    hoping
        you would ask me to
          come over

no matter how many times you
    actually did
it was never enough
    after all

i'm praying
that you will phone
to tell me
    you aren't leaving
after all

that "emotional attachment"
     isn't so crazy

that you'll miss my breath
    on the back
       of your neck
as much as i

miss your casual words
      that hide my
breaking heart
