You’re always wondering why it’s so easy for me to knock out every night when we’re talking. I thought I’d take a minute or two to explain to you how it works, considering how late it is right now.

When we talk, I’m at peace with everything. I’m at peace with my life and with the world, because of you. You put my mind to rest—the hardest thing for me to do my own.

That’s why when we have those nights where I don’t get the chance to end my day with you, all I ever am is restless. Mentally, I’m all over the place and I can’t seem to collect enough of myself to get a good night sleep without you.

Call me overly dependent on you if you must. But if that’s what I am, I don’t really care because I’m too busy being happy. Happy, knowing that when I talk to you I can go to bed content with my life, and wake up invigorated, only to realize that you’re still there in the morning.

So forgive me, for the nights when I go silent. I’m just trying to make up for all of the sleep I’ve lost, waiting for someone like you to come into my life and fix my dysfunctional sleeping schedule.

So in my particular case, you should see it as a good thing that you put me to sleep.
