The evening draws to a close and they retreat to the comfort of bed.
Exhausted and spent she has no words left to say.
They lie and whisper to each other, but mainly she just looks and watches his animated face.
Entangled in arms and legs, sleep does not come to them this way.
They part begrudgingly, her only wish for there to be more breathing air between them.
The light is off and her eyes close wearily, trying to wave off the dread of tomorrow.
He pulls her in closer and kisses her hand and cheek, reminding her that he's still there.
She feels her body give in and knows she could lie here forever.
Limbo between awake and dreamtime, they find their comfortable position;
her on the side and him on his back.
Sleep and peace, a night of comfort and companionship.
A part of them always touching - fingers intertwines, toes tapping or foreheads gently resting ...
wanting to just be part of each others worlds.
