Sudden Bout of Sadness
I was just reading about “hiccups” on Wikipedia, and obviously it said that one of the causes is “laughing.”
For some reason, it reminded me of those times when we would be going to sleep and you would lay your face on my neck and your scruff would brush against my skin and make me laugh so hard because it tickled so much and you would start laughing too and that made it worse and as hard as I would try, I couldn’t stop laughing, even though my stomach hurt and I couldn’t breathe and I just wanted to go to sleep and I felt bad that I was keeping you awake but you said that you didn’t mind, you thought it was cute, so after what felt like an eternity passed, I would finally just turn around and lay my head on your chest and finally catch my breath, but couldn’t stop smiling at how happy and stupid and in love we could be - I miss that so much.
Sometimes, just sometimes, there are times when I remember moments like those and I can’t sleep because of how sad it makes me feel that our love died.
