When I am with you, we stay up all night. When you're not here, I can't go to sleep. Praise God for those two insomnias! And the difference between them.

About This Quote

When I am with you, we stay up all night. When you're not here, I can't go to sleep. Praise God for those two insomnias! And the difference between them. When you're not here, I can't go to sleep because I miss your touch and your sweet kisses and the way you hug me in the middle of the night and whisper in my ear, "I love you," at three o'clock in the morning when I've just got home from work because my head hurts and I haven't been able to sleep for two days straight because of thinking about you and missing you.

. . And when we're together, we stay up until dawn talking about our day and our lives and how we feel about each other.

We share our dreams for the future even though it may seem impossible for both of us to have what we want at this point in time. We talk about the things that are bothering us instead of just ignoring them or pretending they don't exist or trying to find a quick fix that will make us feel better. But when you're not here, I can't go to sleep because all of those feelings are there but they are amplified by having no one to share them with.

Because even though I know that you are only ten minutes away from me if I need you, being apart from you is so much more painful than being together with someone who doesn't matter as much as you do.
