I should take this time
just before the lights go out
and the seraphim lift us off
into the sweet divinity of sleep
to make something
perfectly clear:
It’s so good to just be here
with you.
With you in this bed.
With you on this night.
With those ultra-early birds
singing dissonantly
in the neighbour’s old oak.
That reoccurring rattle in the wall
(hopefully just the plumbing).
The chill of the sheets.
The warmth of your skin.
The light in your eyes.
Your slight overbite.
Your enticing smell of sweat
and vanilla
and maybe...coconut?
That loose tangle of your hair
resting on the pillow.
The quiet
yet strong and abiding breath
of your beautiful
soft
loving
body.
I can feel your heartbeat
through the springs.
Through the aether
that fills the universe.
Just to be here with you
is just enough.
Just lovely.
Just good.
I’m sorry...you wanted
to say something?
