I should be asleep right now.

I should be connecting the jumble of thoughts that sparkle and fade through my head in the middle of the night. I should be watching the images of the day as they spiral above my bed.

But instead, I'm wide awake. Sometimes restless nights lead me to a change of direction. Sometimes they show me new boundaries, or lose old ones. Sometimes they leave me inspired as the sparks fly through the synapses, carrying new thoughts, new words in their luminescence. And sometimes, they leave me looking for a connection. Because at the end of the day, through the bars and the first dates and the feelings you get as you nervously check your hair and your watch, all you really want is someone to hold on to. Someone who gets your mind and your blood moving. Maybe that's you.
