I Go To Sleep

The speaker misses someone who is physically far away and no longer present in daily life. At first, sleep offers a comforting way to imagine being together. But the feeling is not simply peaceful: tears and memories show how painful the separation is. Morning brings loneliness back, and the speaker seems to endure the day until night offers the same temporary comfort again.

Looking up from a pillow suggests waking from sleep or a dream into an empty reality. The phrase “each day drags by” is an idiom meaning that time feels slow and difficult to bear. Night “descends” on the speaker as if darkness were a weight or a visitor; it also brings the chance to sleep and picture the absent person nearby.

The lines about being wrong, crying, and loving someone until death suggest regret or the recognition of deep attachment, though they do not explain what happened between the two people. “You were meant for me” expresses the speaker’s belief that they belonged together, not an objective fact. Sleep may be a refuge, but it cannot remove the loneliness that returns each morning.
