Stay

So I go to these classes.
And make friends
And keep few
Create memories
Remember some
And fall asleep [hopefully]
With train after train of thought
Crushing inside me
[If alone, that is.]
[and if not] I [anxiously]
Slumber awaiting the next
Day I will [anxiously]
[fearfully] rise and
Carry out task after
Task really
Only looking for 
[love] You.
Here? Are you here?
Near?
You can sleep here.
Stay here if you'd like.
