Keeping it to yourself

I was restless last night. Normally, I would turn to the small SW Radio I keep by the side of the pillow or tune into al Jazeera or Euronews on the TV, but it seems like none of them was ready to provide the emergency respite i so needed.I was just restless... tick tock tick... 2 a.m. still no sleep. Panic sets in; I really have to leave home before six.

Then I thought, she shouldn't have told me that... she shouldn't have.

But it's been 3 years now, and I have 'forgiven'...

I turned, sighed and made another futile attempt at getting some sleep...
