My body is covered in warm familiarity as I lay next to you. Your hands find the small of my back and the tip of your fingers gently trace little hearts over and over again. I match our breath, because even with our bodies pressed together, I need to be closer. You pull me further into you, and kiss the top of my head, and a million butterflies rush over me. I want you forever and always. But I can't tell you. Because every touch, every kiss, every word is just practice for you. So I'll lay in your arms and feel loved, just one night longer.
