Who needs sleep?

I didn't sleep a wink last night. I must have tossed and turned the whole night as I watched the numbers on my clock get closer and closer to my 5:30am wake up call. Why did I stay up all night? The truth is I really can't pinpoint just one thing. I know my thoughts were wandering the entire night though. I thought of my friends and how much I missed them all. I thought of my mom and just hoping she was doing well and layed there longing for a hug from her. I miss her mannerisms and I miss the way her voice would get like a little kid when I would be a brat or "pissy" as she would call it. I continued to think of other things like wondering will I ever find love and what it feels like to be in love? Sometimes a person just wants someone to lay next to them at the end of the day. I thought of work and how there is so much pressure on me to do as well as the previous guy and how it has been expressed to me over and over regarding the shoes I am supposed to fill. And after countless hours of thinking I realized it was time for me to get up and ready for a new day. As I walked down the street to my car at 6am I couldn't help but admire the calmness and quietness that surrounded me. It was a very peaceful and refreshing feeling. I got in my car and headed for the freeways to fight the traffic and I preceded to engage my thoughts once again into the contemplations of the night before.
