Not so long.

It was when the bitter rain was falling against your bedroom window. Tapping out a chaotic rhythm like a heartbeat gone awry.

It was when you sighed. So softly. And pushed your head deeper into my chest, like you wanted to kiss my heart goodnight.

You were only moments away from falling asleep with only my rising and falling chest as your pillow and my arms wrapped tightly around you as your blanket.

It was when you lifted your head, eyes hazy with wine, sweet nothings, and half sleep and smiled.

 

“I should go to bed. But can I see you again soon?”

 

That was the moment... That was it.

 

And it was only a moment ago.
