Phone Affair

Last night I couldn't sleep for three reasons: I drank water right before bed causing me to have to pee constantly, I have a chest cough which had me hacking throughout the night, and I was waiting for a text message that never came. I slept next to my phone and watched the hours go by, by, by, nothing yet. Maybe by the time I return from the bathroom? non. I was waiting for my usual goodnight from him, but because I had left his house that night slightly annoyed, that text never came. I kept having brief and fleeting dreams, or scenes, in which my head deceived me, leading me to believe that he was laying next to me in bed. I would turn on my side to face him and he would disappear. I would stretch my arm out to feel him, but he was air. That's a disappointing feeling, and so it kept me up. I kept thinking it's not that late: 3am is not that late he could still... I think it's a  bit obsessive. Bathroom break. I cough for a few minutes. Finally as dawn approached, I fell into a comatose like sleep only to be awoken an hour later by my alarm. Do you see what you do to me? Now I've slept all day.
