Dear Sleep

Sometimes you evade me
Like a friend who only comes when in need
You make me anxious when you're lacking
And I find myself chasing after you
As if you are a lost love.
Please come visit me
In the darkness of night
Like a welcome vistor
And don't avoid me like you do.
I need you more than I know
More than most things in the world
I know you're around the corner
If only I could capture you
Write you a love letter
To make you stay and be here
When I need you most...
Dear sleep,
Please hasten your arrival.
