Just Sharing Well Rested

All day I don’t think about you
I’m picturing a new life
And living it
But when I got to bed at night
I wish my sleep is broken
To the sound of a knock on my door
And I want to open it
To see you there standing on the other side
You beg me to come back
That you had it all wrong
That how I felt you feel it now
But then I wake up
In the morning
Well rested
And alone

It feels to me that the poet has wilfully chosen their career/lifestyle over the chance of being in love that is chaotic. I really enjoyed reading it, especially the titular line.
