Sleepless at 3 a.m.

I lay in my bed at night and try to sleep, slowly I drift into a sleep lingering and deep
Then all the sudden at 3 a.m. I awake with thoughts of you
I cannot get you out of mind, no matter how hard I try
You are like an addictive drug, that I am hooked on
Please let me go and set me free, or come back to me
I can no longer take this torment, I hear your voice at night softly calling my name
I know without you, I will never be the same
It is a shame that our innocent love turned into a game.
Why did you leave? Why did you go?
Please don't answer because I already know
I'm trying to get over you, I really am
But I see you in my dreams, time and time again

Grieving happens for many reasons, not just when there's a death. These nighttime wakenings are often a very great part of it. I peeked into this because I could most assuredly relate to its title. They do lessen as time goes by, hang in there.

Isn't this the truth..they're still in our dreams and our thoughts...I think they go away when we can finally let go...James

Sad poem. A good friend of mine is going through the same things. Some times I hear here crying in the middle of the night. Good luck. I hope everything works out for the best. I know that the best thing in my life came right after a terrible heart break.

Not all the time James. . . they just come less and less. . .

You must grieve. . . but it will end. . .

Distance and time will cure your heart. Just give it time. Well expressed.

A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes.
