My eyes slowly opened to the sound of the birds chirping outside the window. My body is glued to the bed, wrapped in the sheets and tied to the girl laying next to me. I can feel her body pressed up against mine. I can see her shoulder move up and down slowly as she breathes; taking in the smell of her hair, I breathe. I lean forward just a little bit to catch a glimpse of the girl I've been sleeping with, the birthmark I've been sleeping with, the fingertips, the toes, the soul I've been sleeping with. The 14 karat white gold earrings I gave her, one sticking out the back of her earlobe, that my lip slid against just hours before when the moon was up and I had her laid down. Her shoulders, up and down to the beat of the gentle drumming in my chest. I'm still tired, I rest my eyes. I wake up again, and she has turned over on her other side. She breathes on my chest, it tingles. I lay my arm around to the other side of her head to put my hand in her hair, to twirl her curls around my finger. Still slightly asleep, she starts to move her leg further in between mine so I spread my thighs open and let her in. Seeing her sleep makes me want to do the same but her beauty keeps me awake. I stair at her face and think of how close the veins in her eyelids get to her tears when my jokes make her eyes water. I think of how soft and electrifying her lips are when our faces connect and then our tongues meet. I place my forehead gently onto hers and pray. I pray that nothing takes her away. I pray that she lives longer than me. I pray that I can give her all that she needs from me. I inhale her while we're face to face. My eyes still closed, I lightly let my hand caress her cheek. I begin to open them as she wakes up and opens hers. Awakening every cell in my body just by opening her eyes, I fall in love with her even more. She gives me a deep look of admiration while the birds chirp us a love song and the sun shines through the window behind me. Mere bright lighting sneaks by and glorifies her face, enhances her complexion, and brings out the chocolaty color of her eyes. She's my everything.
