sleepless

i thought i was the only one awake, by the sound of snoring and slight stirring of sheets.

my mind was wandering, as i listened to tøp in one headphone.

am i the only one i know
waging a war behind my face and above my throat?

as the lyrics quietly sung to me, i could make out the noise of the bathroom door shutting softly.

i didn't move anything but my head, looking towards dan's bunk across the room from mine.

it was empty. he probably was taking a piss.

i waited for the door to reopen, for probably ten minutes.

what was taking him so long?

it was probably another full ten minutes when he reappeared, and went to the foot of his bed and rummaged around.

why wouldn't he just lay down?

i got tired of listening to the sound of fabrics moving, so i placed the other headphone in my ear, before turning up the volume.

i probably won't be falling asleep anytime soon, but at least i had music to keep me company in this new place.
