A Night Without You

*TikTok TikTok.....* *The clock struck twelve,* *and I suddenly woke up from a deep sleep.* *Still half awake but I knew something's not right.* *That's when I realized that you're not by my side.* *I tried to look for you in the dark,* *groped things with eyes half opened,* *Slowly, slowly, slowly.* *Trying so hard not to make a sound,* *So as not to wake up other people around,* *crawled down slowly,* *checking if you are just lying beneath my feet,* *but to no avail.* *You were not there, sadly.* *No! I can't bear to lose you tonight!* *I can't live without you by my side.* *I can't fall asleep if you're not around* *I bet I can't even go halfway to dream land!* *I need to feel you, I need you to give me warmth, and I need you to give me that ticklish feeling again.* *I'm tired of this scenario every night.* *Always waking up in the middle of the night just to look for you, should I go on like this?* *What happened?* *We're good when I went to sleep just a while ago.* *I was in ecstasy when you hugged me,* *I felt very happy, because you complete me.* *I can't bear a night without you,* *this wouldn't do!* *And I can't easily let you go,* *I must find you and I don't care if they wake up.* *So I forced myself to get up,* *turned on the light,* *And I smiled because you were just there lying on the cold floor!* *Now I can sleep soundly again and with a smile on my face,* *Because I finally found you, my dear mosquito net!* *A night without you is big NO NO.*

Did you think it was human? Sorry for that hahaha 😆✌🏻 I tried to free write a poem because I can't think of a good topic to write plus the fact that I'm too busy lately and feeling stressed out with some stuffs too. Good thing I had this experience last night which became my inspiration for the poem lol. Like me, can you also not fall asleep without a mosquito net? Or do you know someone who can't live without it? When I was younger, I always thought that I'm a weird kid because I can't bear to live without the mosquito net beside me. I have it with me when I'm eating, playing, watching the television, reading a book - basically anything that I do indoors, I have the mosquito net with me. There are even instances that I want to bring it in school! 😅 Back in high school, we had a program and part of that is to go camping for three days and two nights, I have no choice but to bring the mosquito net along with me. I struggled a lot at night just to keep it a secret from my classmates. I had to keep my guards up and sleep when everyone's sleeping. But on the second night, I've let my guard down because I was too exhausted with all the activities we did the entire day. My classmates found out about it and as a result I became the class' laughing stock that day 😅 That was embarrassing but thankfully, it was forgotten after several months. When I had my first job interview, the interviewer asked me something that people find weird about me and I answered that it is when I tell them I can't live without the mosquito net. Surprisingly, the interviewer is the same as me. We talked about our similar stories and until now I'm still thinking that I probably passed that interview because we both like the mosquito net 😂 Nevertheless, that experience gave me courage not to be ashamed to let people know that I love mosquito net so much that I can't live without it. And recently, some posts about it became trending on social media and I found out a lot of people are like that too! So now, I have the courage to bring a mosquito net everywhere! I always have it in my bag and I bring it with me when I'm travelling and even to work! But don't think that I'm bringing the big one lol, I made a customized mosquito net that fits in the small pocket of my bag hehe. Sorry, I know that this is a lame article. But I just want to write something today to release my stress and I'm happy that I did. I was smiling the who time I'm writing and I hope that you like it - @esciisc💕
