insomnia


I find the night very pleasing. Calm. Everyone's asleep. Except for those few people who are in it with you. Your fellow soldiers. Faceing the long, dark night with you. You are the brave. You know it has to get done, and you know how you have to do it. You have your caffine, regardless of how you spell it, and you have your mission, regardless if you accomplish it. I have to pee. The truth is that I do not accomplish nearly enough work to pair with the time it takes me. No matter. It doesn't bother me. This is because of the things I think and the things I do at these hours. You do not truly know yourself until you have seen what I've seen; what many have seen. I truly know myself. As daylight peaks over the horizon, you feel a sense of...uh...well, I can't explain it. No one can. You just have to experience this whole new level. Will I wake to find you waiting by my bedside? Will I wake to find you waiting by my side?
