i wake up.
5:00 a.m.
the sounds of piano and violin.
groggily i turn off my alarm. it's saturday.
thoughts come to me slowly and lazily. i feel as though in a dazed state.
there's something on my stomach.
oh, it's skin.
it's flesh.
it's piper's arm draped across me.
i smile.
her body is warm curled up next to mine.
no other thoughts come to me except that.
her body is warm.
next to me.
arm on top of me.
i close my eyes again and welcome the darkness under my eyelids.
no more thoughts.
for once i am utterly and completely at peace with the moment.
at peace with time.
at peace with her.
at peace with myself.
i hold her in my arms.
flesh.
bone.
skin.
blood.
piper mclean in the flesh in my arms.
i can't help but smile sleepily to myself.
i close my eyes, feeling as if nothing could ever hurt me.
nothing could ever touch me the way piper does.
feeling her breathing up and down,
alseep in my arms.
i caught my ghost.
my illusion.
