I confess, early on I took you for granted. It wasn't until the busyness of life began to crowd you out, that I realized how important you are. I began wishing I could spend more time with you. I thought about you more and more. I couldn't get enough of you. I longed for life to slow down, so we could spend bigger blocks of time together.
More recently, our time together is much more satisfying. I am completely refreshed by you. Why is it, when I'm most content, it becomes easy to put you off? I avoid you as much as possible so I can do things that I want to do, in spite of your gentle tugging. But I count on you to be there for me the minute I need you.
Tonight you let me down. The moment I felt you vying for my attention, I didn't ignore you. I turned off the computer, shut out the lights, and gave you my undivided attention. I've missed you!
What happened to your peaceful presence? I thought since we've had so little time together, my generosity tonight would yield an extra hour or two with you.
Oh sleep...I'm so sorry that I've kept you waiting. Please come back to me. I really do need you. Don't let me down now.

My relationship with sleep is a rocky one. I want it. It doesn't want me... Unless it's 2 pm, and I have a lot to do. ;o)
