Too Much Is Harmful

Too Much Is Harmful

It sound silly, I know, but too much of anything is harmful.


The three of us sat in the room, smoking up. I had only joined so he wouldn't smoke too much.


We played a song as we complete the smoke.


He was now aloof and distant, pulling me closer and pushing me away as I helped him up and walked back into our room.


He smiled funnily, and then, sadly, I asked him how he was feeling and he told me he doesn't want to talk.

We sat still, I held his hand and he leaned forward and kissed me. His lips were dry and his mouth was wide open like he had never kissed before.


"You taste of cigarettes". He was all smiles and giggles.


"And you are high," I stated the obvious. "Do you wanna lie down?"


He nodded and I helped him lie down. I had settled down next to him. He closed his eyes. "I can'y open my mind to you."


I let everything go quite.


I couldn't fall asleep next to him. A part of me said it didn't feel right I wondered if I had him consent? We've lied down before too, but then, he was aware of my presence. Right now, I am not sure he knows.


For some time, I sat on the floor, held his hand and watched him sleep. The slow rise an fall of her stomach, the way his hairs were spread on his face, and very occasionally, he gave a faint smile. I wondered what was he dreaming sbout? Or did he know that I was present there?


Call me hopelessly in love, but this was a wonderful feeling. It was intense. I haven't watched anyone fall asleep before.


When he turned to the other side, his hand slipped out of mine. So I pulled a chair and continued my watch over him. His smile appeared every now and then. Later, he told me that he was awake and aware of his surroundings. He was smiling because I was present there.


I sat there until sleep came to me.


His best friend woke me up and I realized it was late. He was still asleep.


I whispered, "I've to go home". And he whispered, "I'll be asleep for a while."


So I stayed back a little longer until I missed my train. Like I told you, too much of everything is harmful.
