"shhhh," she said.
"I'm sleeping."
just like that. from a hundred miles an hour
to asleep in a nanosecond.
i wanted so badly to lie down next to her and
sleep.
just sleep together,
in the most innocent sense of phrase.
but i lacked the courage and she had a
boyfriend
and i was gawky and she was gorgeous and
i was hopelessly boring and she was
endlessley
fascinating.
