Hello there!
I'll just jump in by saying, I'm not sure what to make of this. Because this is writing, I will make the assumption that this is fictions (and I don't mean to disrespect anything if this is indeed a personal letter, but for the sake of the review, this is purely fictional to me.)
So, first off, I really like the stream of thought lines that are strewn throughout this, especially in the beginning when it is literally the narrator of sorts in bed thinking about things. It's a nice touch and it brings out the voice really well. However, I feel like in the very, very beginning, it's a bit overdone in the sense that it's hard to get into. I recommend easing us into those fast-pace, wordy sentences so that we can get the full effect.
As well, I'm assuming that this is a letter being written to oneself. That the signed person is also the "you" throughout this. But it's not really clear and I feel like it could be, with even something as simple as a relation of the narrator to the implied "you". If this is indeed not the case, try to rework this to separate the two voices somehow.
Final thing is that this is super vague, which I'm sure you intended. But it's vague to the point that I feel like I'm being left out of something, and since this is assumed fiction, that's annoying for a reader. This could be extremely, extremely powerful if even just subtle hints are dropped at what happened. Who this he and she are. I can tell the she, but the he was slipped in there so casually that I thought it was just a typo and I feel like a little more attention could be drawn to that. Maybe even something like italics of the word to be all, "Yes, I'm not the she just mentioned but I am important."
Overall though, I love how dripping with emotion this is and it's an interesting read!
Best of luck,
~ Wolfe
