Watching You Sleep |

Watching you sleep I am struck again by how much you've changed and yet how much you are the same. Years we haven't spent together show in the lines of your face, in the scars and curves of your still familiar body. Golden curls have gone white and grey, but I know those blue eyes; how they dance when you smile, how they laugh when you tease. The tatoos are new, but not the way your arms feel when you hold me close. And I know that smile, even if it is hidden now behind a salt and pepper goatee. Most familiar of all is the touch of your hand, how it stokes my desire as no one else ever could. Your tongue at my ear, your breath on my neck still make me tremble and sigh, wanting only more of you. Watching you sleep I am overwhelmed by all that I feel. I didn't expect it to be so complete, for my love to reach deeper than ever before. Being here with you now feels more right than anything I've ever done. My heart feels so full I am almost afraid to breathe. Watching you sleep I'm so glad that I came. |

My heart feels so full I am almost afraid to breathe. I know this feeling... and one moment of this is worth the lifetime of struggle it sometimes takes to find it. *S* |

I am happy that you should find happiness - and a well penned emotion it is. Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |
