Because I was tired of lying in bed alone.

I want to lay in bed with Charlie and leave whale noises on Justin's answering machine and look at softer world comics and have him be above them.

I want to lay in bed with Maria with all these grand plans for talking, so we could end up sleeping. I want to lay little ice cubes and aloe all over her back when she gets sunburned and wake up in the morning and take our time tanning topless in the yard anyway.


I want to lay in bed with Becca and listen to her talk about her sims, webkinz, friends, play practice, show choir, how her hair never stays curled, how she wants Julie to come home and I just hold her and let her feel small and wish she was smaller and wish I was smaller and mutter "Me too, baby".
