03

last night, or this morning rather, i finally was able to fall asleep to the sound of your music.
i imagined your hands pressing down gently on each key
black, white
black, white.

then i felt the first hint of drowsiness in my head, and that familiar heaviness on my eyes.
i knew it was coming.
it spread fast, like a disease, and soon i could feel it even in my fingertips.

with my eardrums vibrating, i had the best sleep i've had in weeks.

i could have slept more, but i was awaken by the sound of my cellphone,
followed by a feeling i'm not unfamiliar with. i rolled out of comfort, fell to the dirty and cold floor.
crawled and crawled up my chair, hoping that somehow it was you who had woken me up.
