Sleeping Sickness

As he slept she noticed the way his lashes fluttered with each intake of breath.

The way his hair fell across his forehead.

He stirred, his baby blues searching her eyes.

"What are you looking at?" He mumbled at her as he pulled her close.

"Nothing..." She whispered into his chest.

As he nuzzled her neck as his breathing slowed as he fell back to sleep with her wrapped in his arms.

“I love you.” She said to his sleeping outline as she finally drifted off to sleep.
