End Dreams

Sleeping is not a fun thing for me.  In fact, it is rare that I ever look forward to it.  I dream too deeply and too darkly for sleep to ever be considered pleasurable.  

So I used to stay up all night, staring at your resting face, hoping that I could somehow stay awake long enough to greet you with a kiss, when you woke.

Now I stare at the blankness of night, hoping  to stay awake just so I don't have to see you in my dreams.  I dream too deeply.
