You were trying to sleep, like every other night.

Plus it was 2 am plus. Dead tired after a week's long of work. Alongside with friends that couldn't stop entertaining you the whole night long. Yes, awfully tired. By right, you'll grab the pillow and just throw yourself on bed and zonk off.

Somehow, you just couldn't sleep. You kept tossing and turning, hoping your mind will realize that you are actually VERY TIRED. Instead, a gush of memories came rushing back to you and not even a single detail was left out. You open your eyes, trying hard not to focus but betrayed by your heavy eyelids. You became amazed at how much you remember. It was all in a time sequence, from the very beginning till the end of it all.

And you thought you have finally let it go.

And you could only cry yourself to sleep, breaking it all out. Or numb yourself with alcohol.
