If I don't fall asleep....

will tomorrow never come. Will I never have to say good-bye. Will I never have to shed those tears that I know will fall down my cheeks when I give him that last hug. Will I never have to feel that pain in my heart, that tinge of regret that we always wait until he's going to leave to work a little harder to make things right. Knowing things aren't where they should be makes it harder, harder to see him pack that bag, put his belongings away until his return. Right now, this moment, this is what I'm feeling.
