Sleeping here by myself,

I have some of the best dreams,

where you and I are still in love,

not just on each other's teams.

But some nights,

sleeping by myself gets scary.

All of my darkest thoughts and all the memories come up,

reminding me of all that I alone, must carry.

Sleeping alone means that you're not here,

you're not by my side, holding me in your arms.

Instead you're out there somewhere,

while I'm here hiding from the dark.

And yes, I always sleep by myself nowadays,

but you're finally back and we're talking again

and I'd stay friends like this forever if it means you'd stay,

because I need you in my life constantly, not just now and then.

I know I'm being unfair, going to sleep without a goodnight, while he lies awake,

and I hope that he doesn't realize that the one who gets my goodnight texts is you.

But I can't help thinking I'd run back to you any day you want,

because for you, there's nothing I wouldn't do.
