The first night you stayed in my bed until the sun rose the next morning, I was afraid to fall asleep out of fear that you wouldn’t be by my side When I awoke the next day. I lay on my side, you on your back, and my cheek on your bare chest. I listened to your heartbeat like a loud lullaby trying to pull me to sleep. I watched your eyelids, waiting for them to crack to see if I had fallen to slumber But they never did. Your chest elevated up and parachuted down in a perfect sync With the heartbeat drumming in my ear. Occasionally, I walked my fingertips softly up your chest as if your body were a mountain And my fingers were hikers exploring your beauty and landscape.
