"All I Ever Wanted "
Your breath is so gentle just before you wake up. Soft and regular, coming through barely parted lips. Your chest moves just the slightest bit. I can see it as I look over your shoulder. How can something as mundane as body heat inspire comfort, acceptance, safety? Yet your warmth does that for me. I lean back against the pillow, my chest against your back, my knees crooked behind yours, and revel in the simple contact. My hand feathers across your thigh, your hip, and you turn your head. You whimper lightly in your sleep, your feet slide against each other, and you sigh. I take all of this into my heart. Precious moment. I’ll keep it forever. Your hair. I gently pull open fingers through the amazing
length of it and bring it to my face, inhaling. The scent of shampoo
is mostly gone, but your own scent is there, mingled with cherry brandy
and cigarette I ease one arm under you, at the neck, then slide it under your arm, lifting you just a bit off of the bed. My other arm goes around your waist. As you begin to stretch in my arms, now on your back, I lean across your chest and touch my nose to yours. Your eyes are still closed, your lips part again. I press my lips to yours, and you respond with a smile. As your eyes open, I pull back the slightest distance and whisper: “I love you.” How can this be? All those years of barrenness, of bitterness, of never understanding or expecting anything from others but - Your eyes meet mine, and you know. My thoughts come easy to you, and you whisper back to me: “I love you, too.” It’s impossible to articulate what that means to me, to us. But I don’t have to. It’s enough, more than enough. Every day it means something new, fresh, exciting, and yet, and yet, your love for me has always been there, waiting for me to find it. I will never leave you, my love. I will be there for you on all the mornings yet to come. I want to spend my life cherishing you, teaching you just how holy and precious and beautiful you are. I smile, pull you closer, and bury my face in the crook of your neck, and sigh contentedly. Waking up next to you is all I ever wanted. Owari
