I slowly gain consciousness, my thoughts returning, becoming my own again. It is a new day. What does today hold I ask myself. I look over, and she is sleeping. This, a moment I live for, a moment that the struggles of life allow me to enjoy, knowing that all I do, allows her to rest peacefully, unaware of the burden upon me, unaware that she is the foundation that the weight upon me is upheld by, that without her, this pressure would not be worth it.
I smile to myself, looking her over. It was warm last night, she kicked off the covers again, draped upon the floor, and hanging off the bed, all on her side. I know why I was cold now, I laugh to myself, lost in this thought. She is gorgeous, her hair lifted onto the pillow to allow her neck to feel the breeze. Long, luscious, gorgeous, and silky, remembering the feeling of every time it has brushed against me in the moments we have been close. I cannot help but be lost in the preciousness of this moment. I want her.
I gently run my fingers across the nape of her neck, slightly annoyed at her tank top straps getting in my way, I move them down her shoulder as my fingers continue to gently scratch at her. She fidgets, moving ever so slightly. I do not know if she is pretending to be asleep now, or if she is still slumbering away. Time will tell.
I lean over her, kissing her shoulder, continuing to let my fingers run across and explore her body just like it was the first time witnessing her beauty. The curvature, a work of art, I as the beholder bearing witness to her beauty, enjoy this moment to admire her, adore her, explore her. My fingers now caressing the back of her legs, she moves again, this time to her back. Perfect, I think to myself, wanting her even more.
