My head is up against his heart. I can feel the steady rhythm of it beating, which calms me down.
Thump, thump.
It feels like home, sitting here like this. He is my home. The beating of his heart is what is keeping both of us alive. At night, I need to feel it, or I cannot sleep.
Thump, thump.
He's everything I could've asked for, and more. I smile as I feel the steady rhythm of his heart, thinking of just how lucky I am.
Thump, thump.
I wonder if he's awake now, I wonder if he knows that I do this every night. That I need to feel him, or I am not complete. Moments like these are ones that I wish could last forever. I love him. Nobody will ever change that. Sure, I'm broken, but he's one of the puzzle pieces keeping me together, making me sane.
Thump, thump.
At this point, I knew for a fact that if he left, I would go crazy. Lee is my everything at the moment. Sometimes, I wish he would wake up and see what I was doing. He would probably pull me close and hold me there. Some nights, he would wrap his arms around me without even knowing. This made me feel whole.
Thump, thump.
Every morning, I reach out to seek his warmth, just to make sure he's still there and that this all wasn't a dream.
Thump, thump.
He makes me happy that the world went to hell. Sure, it really is terrible about what is happening around us, but without I wouldn't have met him. I guess good things do happen during bad times. As they say, after a hurricane comes a rainbow.
Thump, thump.
The rhythm is soothing me so much that I am beginning to fall asleep. This happens every night. "I love you." I whisper, just as the darkness consumes me.
