Covers pushed to our feet
My head on his chest, I can hear his heart
Room wreathed in soft shadows
His hand rough against the skin of my back
Soft breeze caressing our bodies
It’s quiet.
I haven’t felt this settled, this still, this comfortable
In I don’t know how long
I feel grounded
Tomorrow seems far away
Right now seems to stretch forever
He shifts
“Did you ever mean it?”
He says...
