My eyes were closed

by Mr Rhee   May 3, 2008


Usualy, she likes to curl up on the small
sofa in our bdroom to sleep.
Last night she wanted to stretch out on the bed because of all the work she did at the store.
Yes I did go to bed later. I didn't lay a hand on her while she laid there humming out the light, girlie, snore she does when she's really tired.

She did wake me around 5:30 because she heard something in the house. I came back and laid down next to her, put an arm around her, and she didn't push it off like she always does. A few minutes went by, she turned her head and asked me to scoot back a little-I thought that was the end of that-and she moved back into me to make room for our son who crawled in with us. She laid against my chest, her whole body against mine. I laid my arm around her waist, and just breathed for a while. We went to sleep this way until the alarm rang behind me.

She moved, patted my hand, and I shut off the alarm. I just laid behind her, feeling how warm her body was next to mine. I could smell her hair, it was in my face. I slowly nuzzled the back of her neck automaticaly, she didn't move away. I was inhaling her scent again when she she touched my leg with her hand. "I need to get up and shower." Whatever was there, was gone.

I felt that feeling again. I covered my face with a pillow to block the light from overhead. I hate to say it, but I was so sad that I would miss laying next to her so much. My eyes were closed, I was trying to fall back into a sleep, but I felt my face get wet. I hate this so much now. I can't wait to move out.
