Long time no see
We agreed last week to celebrate this coming weekend. And then we both forgot about it. I even drove him to the airport this morning. Kinda Ironic, or maybe just coincidence. He was flying out of national on delta two days after me.
Anyway, the hardest part about meat being gone, or when I travel without him, is falling asleep without him in bed next to me. Normally we lie very close together on our backs and one of us throws our inner leg over the other's inner leg. We fight for a little while over who gets to be on top, and he normally lets me win. Then as we start to drift off, I take my leg back and we just hold hands. Then right before we fall asleep, or probably right before I fall asleep since,honestly, I turn out the lights and he's snoring in fifteen minutes (asshole), we let go of eachother.
So tonight I can't drink to insulate myself from his absense since I have to study. I have to fall asleep on my own.
I watched some Alias and realized it was midnight and that I needed to fall asleep. I turned off the TV and turned on my side with the blanket snuggled around me. Normally,I try to imagine he is there anyway. Actually on Thursday night I ended up staying at my place and he at his b/c after I ditched on the flight I went O-U-T. So while, alcohol was on my side then, another thing that i think hel[ped was the fact that I had so much shit on my bed. Notebooks and clothing galore since I was recently packing for the fair. So that weight of all that crap, was kinda soothing to fall alseep under. A poor imitation of the real thing, but it wasn't nothing.
So today, I alternated between studying and cleaning, as you do. So now, not only do I not have enough alcohol in my system, but I also do not have any added weight on top of the covers.
So as I turned over just now, I was a first imagining him behind me. And then I thought, well jesus I used to sleep alone all the time. How did I do it then. I think an excess of scotch is part of the answer, but really, how did I do it? Did I fall asleep with the TV on every night?
I remember when MEat and I started dating how badly I was sleeping having to share the bed with someone else every night. And now, like its heroine, I can't fall alseep without him, his weight or his leg hairs.
