'I Don't Want To Sleep Alone'

I have heard many people say they don't like sleeping alone. When I hear it, it immediately makes me think about my feelings on the topic and ummmm I'm not like that.

I don't mind sleeping alone especially if I would have to sleep with just any ole body. As a matter of fact, I have discovered that I don't even feel comfy with evbody. Well I guess I should say there are different levels of comfortability. I really don't want to cuddle and spoon with just any guy, soooooo that is why when I hear peeps say this I'm bewildered, confused and perplexed.

But maybe the whole idea of not wanting to sleep alone breathes life into the whole mantra, "If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you with."

Any who.

At night is when I reflect on my day and pray when I'm alone. Lately, life has provided a few bumps in the road, I'm job hunting, a dear friend has died. So for me being alone at night gives me a chance to recalibrate, reset and of course pray. But I'm thinking it may give peeps a chance to be alone with their thoughts and maybe that is why they don't want to be alone.

Heck, I dunno. But isn't sleeping - not necessarily having sex - with anyone available sad? Or am I not understanding the human condition and the need to have someone lying next to a person to ward off feelings of loneliness?

Tell me.

  1. I don't think I could just sleep next to someone (new) and not have sex with them. I think women only offer this sort of thing to men as a test, and you only pass it by making sex happen, or refusing to play the game in the first place.

    All I can say is if I ever slept with someone new, she wouldn't get any sleep with me in the bed until we were finished. After that she would sleep very very well. :-)
