beloved

I feel you and I have become reacquainted again, for some mysterious reason.

Once you were merely a necessity, an obligation which at times I found quite frustrating.

You would beckon me and I would reluctantly come, not yet finished having time on my own.

You would engulf me in your comforting ways, making it a strain to want to leave you again.

You had this manipulative way about you, easing my troubles and creating new moments in my eye lids.

Together we would spend hours embracing, using each other for support and comfort.

But our time would end and the ritual would start again.

Things have changed now, and I find myself longing for you and hesitant to leave when I'm with you.

I immerse myself in all your glory, the smooth nature of your exterior such a luring snuggling factor.

I now spend extra hours with you, not wanting to leave in the lurking hours of the morning.

Despite the restless flickers and odd hours of wakening, you are consistent and reliable...

exactly what I need right now.

So tonight I tuck myself in again to your welcoming arms and sigh with relief.

Tonight I will be in the centre and you will have no complaints.

I will edge down into your warming comforter and feel safe.

Together, you and I are a perfect match.

Without you, my beloved bed...

I would be completely lost.
