I realized tonight that I stay very respectfully on “my side” of my bed, even though there’s no one sharing it. Odd, huh? 

I could spread out, but I don’t. 

What’s up with this? 

Am I hoping to make room for someone? How would they know? 

But I don’t feel comfortable claiming the middle, or “the other side”. 

So I stay on my half. Who’s supposed to occupy the other empty side?
