Her hair tangles on the pillow as she shifts
Her fingers twitch as her dream hits its peak
A gentle snore releases itself from the depths of her throat
And I can smell the tang of her breath
It's absolutely revolting
But it's what makes her human
I love her
I love her for the way she lets out a deep breath and grunts
I love her for the way her fingers crawl across the sheets to search me out
I love her for the way that her whole body leans when they find me
I love her for the way that I'm the one that she curls into every night
Every evening
Every day
Every morning
I'm the one that she holds
I'm the one whose knuckles she kisses and caresses
I'm the one whose tongue tastes her passion
And knows the texture of the insides of her thighs
I'm the one who looks at her stretch marks and sees growth
I'm the one who watches as her eyes flutter then open
They focus on seeing
Then they focus on me
*And I love her for it
