Together: Waking

Utter silence fills our room except for your breathing. I can’t tell if you’re in a dream or just deeply asleep, but I love your sounds in my ears and feeling your body next to mine. Do I love you too much? Is that why I’m pinching myself to make sure I’m not stuck in a dream world of my own creation. You don’t think too highly of yourself and would be saying “You are silly.” When it comes to how I feel about feeling you next to me. I want to live in this moment forever knowing you are ok and here, not 60 miles away which always felt like 600. The first ray of sunlight slips through the blinds and I make too much noise so that your sleepy eyes now crack open enough to stare me down as I say “Good morning my lady.” You stretch, yawn and move around such that your body awakens mine more and reminds me of the sweet loving we shared last night. But, I’ll be good and let you awaken fully before I attack you with hugs and kisses, please God never let me get tired of those – don’t want to break my promise of endless affection. As you roll over onto me your beautiful smile lifts my spirit, your eyes light mine with their twinkling and your arms curve around me in our first big hug of the day. Soon our legs are locked followed by tender kisses and loving stares at each other, and we realize that waking up together is still amazing, still a blessing and still wonderful. We talk a bit about yesterday and plan today then take deep breaths part our bodies and continue this new day that God has granted us together.
