Understated

I think I finally know why I can't sleep at night: I hate sleeping alone. Okay, don't take that the wrong way, just let me elaborate. I slept with my dog every night for four years, it's hard to get used to sleeping alone when you've had someone on the other side of your bed. It's hard to get used to not being able to bury your face into a soft, furry neck when you woke up from a nightmare. It's hard to lay in bed, hugging a cold pillow instead of a warm pumpkin-pie colored body. I guess, I can't do it. I can't adjust to sleeping alone...
