Awake

I wake up. Then I put my arms around you, my hands holding your belly. You turn around and say "good morning". You kiss my forehead, I kiss your lips. You hug me closely, so tight. It feels like my bones are crushing. But it actually feels good. To wake up next to the person whom you want just want to be there, the first thing you see as you open your eyes in the morning, afternoon, or by nighttime.

I wake up. I hear you still snoring. I'm looking at your face as you sleep so peacefully. I just stare. Then I smile and thank the heavens for just being here, beside this very person. I listen to you breathing. I close my eyes.

I wake up. It's dark. I search for my cellphone to check the time. I need to go home. Then I look at you. I wake you up, "I need to be home". You say, "5 mins". I say ok. You grab my arms and hug me. I wish for this 5 minutes not to end.

I wake up. I see your face.

I close my eyes and just smile.
