go to bed
go to bed
go to bed

put the bottle of vodka away
put the empty bag of chips away
put the dirty mugs of solitude away

just take a breath
take a breath
take a breath

know that you don't need all the answers
know that you don't have to run right now
know that him leaving isn't the end

just let it be
let it be
let it be

    Things always tend to look better in the morning if we can just take a breath and sleep. There's nothing that cannot be erased with a new sunrise.

    This is excellent, by the way.

      Thank you, Ben, that is beautifully put and something I've been learning. Some of the best advice I've ever gotten was just to "sleep on it", and there have been quite a few times where I've felt relief in the morning that I didn't act on anything impulsive or that I'd regret. I haven't felt better every time, especially when there's not an easy solution to things, but I've reminded myself there's no need to make rash decisions. There's nothing wrong with taking more time to think things through, and sometimes the mind and body are too exhausted to do anything helpful anyway.
