RESTLESSNESS

Middle of the night,
I woke up wide.
Staring at the ceiling, 
I heard the rhythms of my breathing.

Fidgety, I was on the edge.
Did I forget some pledge?
Special day of someone I adore,
Or I missed some pressing chore.

Delving deep into my mind,
I got no answer, it was blind.
Yet the restlessness did not subside,
Till I saw the date blinking by my bedside.

One year has passed,
I saw you that night, last.
