Why I Do Not Sleep


My leg twitches
I cannot sleep
Remember when we played footsie under the table
And our friends had no idea?

My stomach growls
I am hungry
A growling gut is better than a fire alarm
Like when I tried to cook for you.

Eyelids won't shut
Too much caffeine
It will likely take weeks to come down from this high
After all the Starbucks dates

My mind races
I miss you so
Even with twitching, growling, or teariness
I would not sleep, lest I dream of you.
