Fallin asleep

It's night again and insomnia is here. As hard as I try to avoid medication, I end up taking it just to get some shut eye. I just remembered something when I was watching a Korean drama, A gentleman's dignity. The main actor was putting his girlfriend to sleep. The girl said, you better go now as I'm a light sleeper. Sure enough, she fell asleep soundly without waking up when he leaves. 

I was trying to remember the best sleep that I had in recent years without medication. It was on a flight back from US. I wasn't feeling well and the flight was delayed in HK. I was traveling with my then boyfriend. Being my prickly self, I was ready for an all nighter without sleep. But little did I know, all he had to do was just pat me to sleep while I lay on his thighs, just snuggling up. I'm not saying I miss B now but I miss that memory and maybe a certain longing, knowing that I'll be safe just for that night, without a single worry and someone will be there to look after me. That was the best sleep I could remember. I'm sure there are others but this stands out the most.
