We’re both wide awake
Its two maybe half two in the morning
Your arms round my waist
Head leaning on my shoulder
Your legs entwined with mine
You pull me in close into you
It’s a time we’re familiar with
It’s a time we have deep meaningful conversations
Sometimes often or not it’s a time for wants
And needs to be initiated
But not tonight
Tonight there is neither
Tonight there is a sense of contentment
In the silence of happiness
Lying here knowing that the past is a distant memory
never to be relived
And knowing that our future is beautiful adventure
waiting to be lived
But more than that
It’s knowing that you are well, you are safe
You are here, just here by my side
With your arms round my waist
Head leaning on my shoulder
Your legs entwined with mine
I feel blessed…
