I'm tired everyday. My body has not reacted well to the sudden change in my circadian rhythm. I always feel like I don't have enough sleep, but because I'm not used to this sleep-wake pattern, my mind and body remains alert when I try to sleep at night.
The only thing that keeps me going in this relationship, the only thing that keeps me from giving up, is the constant reminder that you love me. 这三个月来,你为我做了最值得怀念的,是你给我的时间。 It's the putting together of all the times when you hugged me to sleep, of the times when you sat at the foot of my bed playing your games while I slept.
This is why I drag my feet to meet you after work whenever you say you can. This is why I pinch my thighs to stay awake to be on webcam with you.
And maybe that perpetual tiredness is the reason behind my unhappiness when you are not able to meet me because you were unwilling to wake up even after sleeping 14 hours. Maybe I'm just jealous. As much as I love to sleep, as much as I need my sleep, I'm trying to stay awake to see you as much as possible. This comes especially after our very diverse working hours have eaten up so much of the time I had that I could spend with you during the initial phase of our relationship.
And when you ask why I got so upset when all you were doing was sleeping, I didn't know how to answer you.
'I was upset because I wanted so much to see you, but you were more interested in your sleep.'
Did you really mean for me to say that?
Yes, you were only sleeping. Yes, it's better than all the other vices that you could have had. But to me, all I wanted, was to spend with you, whatever little time I have left, after taking away my working hours, your working hours, and now, your schooling hours.
I know you are at a loss when I get upset over such unavoidable issues. I know you become affected by my unhappiness, and I'm really trying not to show my despondency, not to lose my patience when we're together.
But I'm really tired, and it seems like no matter how hard I try, it's not good enough for us, and I really don't know what to do anymore.

Happy belated birthday, my love. I'm sorry for our lacklustre celebration, and I'm sorry your present can only arrive on the 28th. I hope it will keep you company when I'm not there.
And yes,
just so you know
phoebe loves you. muacks
