"she's already in the bed when i come into the room; on her side, half-sleep, half-waiting for me to take my place beside her; but fully naked 'cause that's how she sleeps when i'm there. i make my way to her, losing articles of clothing along the way, 'cause that's how i sleep when i'm there. pulling back the covers to settle into a familiar spot behind her, i ease into the bed and back where i belong. her hair's covering her neck and i brush it aside in order to kiss her. i tell her i love her and she smiles, reaching her hand back for mine. and we fall asleep, hand-in-hand, the way we used to.
