Insomnia




Nights like these, when sleep deludes me
I close my eyes and think about you
Of the way you had fit in snugly in my arms
The mole just below your collar bone 
The scar on your left eyebrow left behind by a bout of chicken pox while you were still a child
The way you love your coffee scalding hot
Those cute little snores you make while you lie on your back
The ticklish spot on the side of your belly
Of the imperfect completeness that you were to me
And I can't help but wonder whether he notices all this about you today...

  2. Loved it. I guess we reflect once we lose them.

  5. Oh no! That was painful but with time it might become more of a heavy memory or a routine.

    1. Yes. Sometimes the memories that we love are the ones that cause us pain :)

  8. Why that doubt in the last line, to make it painful. Why not assume that he too remembers and cherishes the memory as you do ?
    That one change in attitude makes it a Happy Ending.
