sleep

there are a few lines in this song that i like and it makes me think about sleeping each time i hear it:

"As im all by myself tonight, not again, not again. And dont it feel alright. And dont it feel so nice. Lovely."

whether it is in reference to simply staying in on a friday night watching tv by yourself, or going to bed alone--lately whenever im getting ready to rest my eyes this line pops up into my mind...

i used to want to be held each night before i went to bed. lately im finding peace in the simplicities [and in the complexities] of being alone. sleeping alone. i can spread out in my own bed....its just a twin, but its perfect for me. sometimes i still yearn for arms around me. but more so than not, im enjoying tossing and turning--alone. it may seem to some people that its a sad line; being "by myself tonight." but thats where the simplicities and complexities come into play.

its an oxymoron, really. the complexities may seem more obvious, being alone; again; which means it occurs more than once. most would take that as a negative--a sad thing--being alone. but the simplicities; the peacefulness, of just being at ease, asleep, dreaming in my own world....to me that is the positive. its simple.

it does feel alright. it does feel so nice.

that one line: "lovely." it is.
