Chapter 9

Josh slowly opened his eyes, barely managing it because his eyes were so puffy as he壇 cried through his memories and the thoughts that had followed. He kept going over everything in his mind, wondering what they could have done differently. It was hard to let go and it exhausted him physically to think about it.

Sinking further into his mother痴 embrace while closing his eyes, he couldn稚 help but wish it were Justin痴 strong arms that held him close.

Tears fell unnoticed down his cheeks as the sound of the radio penetrated his haze of pain and misery. He壇 turned it on earlier unable to bear the silence of an empty house. He forced himself to listen to it, the sound and the songs, to keep the thoughts and pain at bay. It wasn稚 long before his exhaustion got the best of him and he slowly slipped into oblivion.

Josh cried himself to sleep as the song with the oddly appropriate lyrics and the melody that reflected his sadness and heartache played in the background.

Your toothbrush is still next to mine
Your clothes are hanging in the closet
And I知 still living here
You paid the deposit
Now the future is unknown
But I知 not sleeping alone

I知 sleeping with the memory
I知 sleeping with regret
I知 sleeping with the fantasy
That I can稚 let go of yet
Half of me is you
Everything I own
I feel you beside me
Oh, I知 not sleeping alone
I知 not sleeping alone
I知 not sleeping alone

Hey, I wonder where you are tonight
What痴 going through your head
Hey, I知 doing alright
On my side of the bed
You think I知 here on my own
But I知 not sleeping alone

I知 sleeping with the memory
I知 sleeping with regret
I知 sleeping with the fantasy
That I can稚 let go of yet
Half of me is you
Everything I own
I feel you beside me
Oh I知 not sleeping alone

I知 not sleeping alone
I知 not sleeping alone
You think I知 here on my own
But I知 not sleeping alone

When I put my head on my pillow
And I enter the world of my dreams
Everything is as it was before
You池e still loving me
You池e still loving me

You think I知 here on my own
But I知 not sleeping alone

I知 sleeping with the memory
I知 sleeping with regret
I知 sleeping with the fantasy
That I can稚 let go of yet
Half of me is you
Everything I own
I feel you beside me
Oh I知 not sleeping alone

I知 not sleeping alone
I知 not sleeping alone
You think I知 here on my own
But I知 not sleeping alone

Oh when I still feel you beside me
Since you know I知 not sleeping alone
