Slipping soundlessly from our bed
I cannot sleep, words dancing and whirling through my head
Sitting at my desk, slipping headphones on , so as not to wake you
The music soothing me and allowing my mind to settle
As the words now flow from mind to fingers to keys
I glance over at you, my heart filling with warmth and love
How lucky we have been to found each other at last
You toss and turn restlessly, knowing even in your sleep that I am not beside you
I watch you scoot and slide across the bed,
Your arm flung out, searching for me
I go back to my writing as you continue to search, your hand now sliding up my thigh
I slip off my headphones, just to listen to your contented sigh
Watching you now, waiting to see if you open your eyes, your hand starts to rub my thigh
Mumbling now in your sleep of your love for me, settling back into deep sleep
My hand drops down, grasping yours, as I now type with one hand
The words still flowing from mind, to fingers, to keys
My world content and complete



*My Eddie recently moved my desk from across the room to right next to my side of the bed as I tend to write more so at night, the words often keeping me awake as they dance and whirl through my mind, this way I am not so very far away as he sleeps when I write.
