Do you remember these moments in our childhood? We couldn't sleep; or didn't want to. It wasn't even those special nights, like Halloween, Christmas or New Year's when the grown-ups would let us stay up late and we were too excited anyway.
I mean those nights that were not special at all, except we wouldn't sleep. Couldn't sleep. We'd stay up, quietly talking in the dark, waiting to see how long it would take for the sun to come up again. We never made it that far. We finally did sleep before it became light. I remember waking up in the morning and feeling sad; feeling as if I'd been left out. You were just grumpy and tired, and fell asleep on the bus to school; and then later in class. I felt strange, all day long.
And now I'm 25 and this is the .. I don't know which number anymore.. night that I've made it through. I can see that thin line on the horizon, as if a lamp has been turned on behind a closed door and the light is only shining through the small crack between door and floor. I can see the sun climbing higher and higher and I made it. I didn't fall asleep.
I've seen the most amazing sunrises and I shouldn't feel weird. I shouldn't feel left out.
These mornings are amazing and I'm living the life of lives.
So, what am I missing? I think you know. Tell me. I need you to tell me why you can be grumpy and tired.
Why aren't you scared? Why are you never scared that you might have just missed the most important thing in the world?
Why am I?
