It’s waking up in the middle of the night for no reason, shifting under the blankets & feeling the heat of the person next to you. You turn around & see them in their most peaceful, innocent, & vulnerable state. They breathe as though the weight of the world lies on anyone's shoulder but their own. You smile & kiss their face gently before turning back around & somehow, an involuntary grin forms on your face. Just before you drift off to sleep, you feel an arm wrap around your waist & you know.
