The first two lines hooked me, the rest wrapped me in memories of similar choking nights... tossing and turning in the mire of some (usually imagined) rejection. Again I honor you, my friend, for the gift of your honesty and soul.
I have to agree with those who commented on the power of the first two lines...hooked thusly, I went along for the ride, Anne...and then the last two lines hit close to home and I was more than hooked...I was caught.
