I looked down to find your pretty head already asleep on my chest looking as beautiful as ever. You murmured something in your sleep and I laughed as I watched your lips part and close again. You wrapped your arms tighter around me and then you smiled. Then I realised that I was trapped. I was trapped in you. Cos all I saw that moment was beauty. All I saw was the little form of joy; of grace God decided to place in my life. I saw a woman who was so strong, with the most beautiful soul ever.
I wondered why you thought so low of yourself. Claiming to be an ugly, broken, human. Cos all I saw was a strong lady who'd do anything for the ones she loved and never get appreciated. Oh! but I will worship you darling. Oh! I will worship the grounds you walk on; the air you breathe. Cos you deserve all and more. That moment, I was consumed with so much love, so I placed a kiss on your forehead. Surprisingly, you moved up and kissed my forehead too, smiled at me, and laid down peacefully on my chest again.
I laughed. You beautiful pretender! I placed a kiss on your hair and then you tightened your arms around me and threw your legs on mine. I swear to you darling, my smile was much more brighter than the early morning sunrise at that moment. I placed your hair behind your ear. Then you looked up at me with those very beautiful eyes of yours. And then, I said the only truth I wouldn't get tired of saying everyday.
"I love you", I said. You smiled. I kissed your lips. You opened your eyes they were teary. I smiled. Tears dropped, I wiped them off with my thumb. Then you pecked my lips and said, "Thank you". Oh! Dear, you didn't have to thank me. I had to thank you cos I don't know what I'd be doing without you in my life right now. Cos you're the best thing that ever happened to me. God bless the day you agreed to be mine forever. God bless the the day I first met you.
I guess that was how we slept that night. Your arms wrapped tightly around me. Your legs thrown on my body. Your soft snoring. I had a dreamless sleep. I was already living in the dream I wanted. The dream I never wanted to wake up from. The dream about a world where it's just you and me together forever.
Happy Valentine's Day sweetheart.
