For those sleepless nights, with you.
We had something in common. Many sleepless nights. A desire to be needed by someone. That was all it was. And yet, we started spending our nights together. Is this just a physical relationship? Just being together at night? I don't know your favorite foods, the things you hate, or your past. We aren't lovers. If I tell you to come, you come to see me. But I never expected you to ask me that. "If I were gone, would you be lonely?"
