Sweet Slumber

He lies next to me

Soft and still

His chest gently rising and falling to a steady beat

Hands draped across his stomach, feet slightly dangling off the end of the bed

Small beads of water from a hot shower still cling to his tussled hair and beard

Every inch of him so perfectly imperfect I could cry

I would keep him up all night if only to get to watch him sleep for a few extra minutes in the morning

I never thought I’d find a love like this

One so easy and deep

One that flows through me and sends sparks out of the tips of my fingers

One that makes my entire body smile when he kisses me

One that feels so safe, sturdy and secure

It’s almost surreal to be in this moment

Laying in bed on a cloudy afternoon with the love of my life

I can travel back to so many moments of pure sadness and disappointment; heartbreak and betrayal

So can he

But despite it, here we are

Together

Madly in love

Everyday growing closer

Stronger

Happier

I could watch him sleep forever
