Short Stories

Sleep

I love watching you snuggle in bed,

The way you can only fall asleep on your back,

How you spread out,

How you start to fall asleep.

I love seeing you fall asleep,

The way your muscles tense and relax,

How your facial expressions change,

How your legs and feet twitch,

Your stomach begins to rise and fall - slowly,

The way your grip loosens,

And occasionally tightens,

How you eventually slip into a peaceful slumber

I love watching you sleep,

You toss and turn,

You groan and moan,

You mumble,

And that one time you cried,

You hug me with all your might - in your sleep,

I love the way you make adorable faces.

I love that when you wake up,

You have no idea what just happened,

That you can't even remember what you were dreaming.

I just love every minuscule detail about you, I'm sorry for sounding like a creep, but you are my world -

And I love the way you sleep.
