That feeling of complete contentment.
The sun shines through the window. Resting gently on your
skin. Her body is glowing in the morning light beside you. Your bodies are
entangled still, from the night before. It’s silent, except the rhythmic rise
and fall of her breath. You strain to listen, syncing your own breathing to
hers. A little closer to her than you were before.
It’s been so long since I’ve felt that, and now that I have again... I
almost don’t know how to react. It has consumed me. I struggle to remind myself
to breathe. Walk. One step after the other. Working along the way. If I didn’t
remind myself, then I’d stay in this room bathing in the sunlight next to her.
She wraps her arms around me, and I forget that anything in
my life has ever been difficult. In that moment… I am content.
