Sleep

I can’t sleep. Not until I’ve gotten this off of my chest, and out of my head.

I want so badly to just hold you in my arms, to feel your soft skin, and to feel your heart beating so closely to mine. And then while I hold you, I’ll play with your hair, your long dark gorgeous hair, and smile to myself as I hear you put your hair down, “It’s frizzy”, or “It’s out of control” — as if you could somehow convince me that you aren’t perfect. And then I would lean in and softly whisper into your ear just how beautiful you really are, and how I need you. And finally, when I feel I have made it as clear as possible that I am completely lost without you… I would look directly into those big beautiful brown eyes of yours, tell you “I love you.” and then kiss you on those warm inviting lips.

…… Goodnight.
