"to think about her now with someone else, it felt like all the oxygen had been sucked from the room.
after my break up with Susie, i just couldn't fall asleep any more. the more i tried to sleep,the less tired i feel...i was wide awake. i tried everything. i'd just become immune to sleep. i suddenly found i had 8 extra hours. my life'd been extended by a third. i wanted time to pass quickly, but in stead i was forced to witness the passing of every second of every hour. i wanted the hurt i felt to go away, but in some cruel trick of events, i now had even more time on my hands, more time to think about Susie.
i took the bus with no real place to go. i watched the landscape slowly change as it clung to the last hours of sunlight, before leaving me to get another sleepless night. i started to read all the books i wished i'd time to read. with extra hours, i even had time to reread my favorite ones. but she was never far from my mind."
