squirming around all night to the sounds of a movie playing in the background. wiggle, wiggle until slumber finally takes over. sleeping on the right side because it’s the comfortable side. eyes rolling back, lightly snoring. fucking asthma. 7 hours later–abruptly waking after realizing it’s almost that time.. the sun isn’t even out, the world is still asleep. turn to the other side and set eyes on a warm body. scooches over, nuzzling the nose into the arch of his back and take a slow, deep breath. eyes closed, repeat. peek over and lightly give a couple of smooches on his scruffy cheek. he makes small noises in his sleep. quite endearing. squeeze in a little closer to create a nook between two laying bodies. perfect spot to lay, want to lie forever. tuck the moment away in your hippocampus for quick future recall of elation.

drift. away.
