I’ve awoken from my slumber. Opening my eyes slowly, I notice the light filtering in through the gap in the curtains. Turning to my left, I see your silhouette next to me. Your chest slowly rising and falling in sync with your gentle breathing. The sight fills me with an overwhelming sense of calm. I watch you for several minutes, admiring the serene look on your face.
I slide closer, trying not to disturb your sleep. I reach out a hand, gently tracing the curve of your jaw with my fingertips. Your skin is soft, warm against my touch. You stir slightly, murmuring an incoherent thought before settling back into your deep sleep, snuggling closer into my side. I smile, wrapping my arm around you to hold you tight against me.
I take a deep breath, inhaling the familiar strawberry scent of your hair. It comforts me, grounding me in this beautiful reality. My mind travels back through our timeline, remembering how lost I felt before you stepped into my life. You brought a vibrant color to my once black-and-white world, giving me a purpose I didn’t know I was searching for.
I hold you close, matching your breath. Feeling your heartbeat pulse into my hand resting on your chest. Just the two of us alone together. I look forward to spending today with you, exploring new worlds or just staying right here in our own quiet sanctuary. With you, every morning feels like a fresh beginning, a clean canvas for us to build our stories together.
