Every night,
I tell you,?
“Go to sleep, good night.”?
But deep inside,
I whisper,
“No… stay a little longer.”?
Expectations always hurt —?
and your reply is always the same:? "Okay, bye. GN."
Just out of care,?
because you know lack of sleep harms my health.?
And I know —?
you always wanted to have a long conversation,?
where there’s nothing to share,?
but just presence is all we craved.
