Tangled Sheets

I don’t like nights away from you. I need a body – I need your body – next to me, breathing quietly, snoring gently, but at least a presence next to me, keeping my body and soul warm.

The sheets get sweaty and tangled as I toss and turn, trying to sleep, failing to sleep, wanting only your arms to creep around me and say “sleep peacefully and well”.

As if you sense all this, you arrive in the early morning, breakfast tray in hand. But of course it lies untouched. All I need for sustenance is right here in my arms.

~End~

Lots of backstory in a small space, of precious peace found and sorely missed. thanks for sharing.

I'm glad you picked up on the 'peace' theme - and it being missing and then found.

Thanks for the lovely comment.
