Sleeping...

How come when you're a little kid and you're lonely it's perfectly okay to crawl in bed with someone nearby and say "I just don't want to sleep alone" but at some age, that becomes not okay? I suppose the child in me is hurt tonight, feeling a great deal of rejection and fear. Something some adult did to the adult me is being responded to by the child me. That little girl who just wants to be liked and slept with in the middle of the night, when the night is taking much too long to get over.
